Amber Run - Island Lyrics






You think you're pretty special, don't you?
Handsome face and faded culture
The devil in the dark

When we talk I'm reminded why
I thought it'd be you to take me high
You were an angel in the night

But when I die, oh, when I die
Don't waste your flowers on me

And you found yourself another man
Well that's okay, I understand
I didn't want you anyway

When I get high I still see you there
With your pretty face and your cultured stare
Oh, and then you just fade away

Oh, when I die, oh, when I die
Don't waste your flowers on me
Oh, when I go, don't let me go
Put your arms around me, yeah

'Cause I don't want to be an island
But you, you fuel silence

It was you who dug it up
You question why we bothered at all
Because I don't want to be an island

I forget where I was
And for a moment, I was lost
Oh, I forget where I was
And for a moment, I was lost

No, I don't want to be an island
No, I don't want to be an island

You think you're pretty special, don't you?
Handsome face and faded culture
The devil in the dark

  13. F.... R....

    feels like the kinda song id listen to on my way to a cottage somewhere in the country; someplace near the river with many pebbles on the bank and mist in the air?! no man, I'm not exaggerating,
    in my fifteen years of existence, this is one of the only songs that swims perfect to my current and right nows. I don't think the song fits, but the vibe, it's taking me to dopamine heights.

    F.... R....

    I have a strange attraction towards long comments, yours is a gold one! And I agree, Amber Run can do all that to us <3

    Lyrics:

    [Verse 1]
    You think you're pretty special don't you?
    Handsome face and fairly cultured
    The devil in the dark
    When we talk I'm reminded why
    I thought it'd be you to take me high
    You were an angel in the night

    [Pre-Chorus]
    But when I die
    Oh when i die
    Don't waste your flowers on me

    [Verse 2]
    And you found yourself another man
    Well that's okay, I understand
    I didn't want you anyway
    When I get high I still see you there
    With your pretty face and your cultured stare
    Oh and then you just fade away

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Oh when I die
    Oh when I die
    Don't waste your flowers on me
    Oh when I go
    Don't let me go
    Put your arms around me, yeah


    [Chorus]
    'Cause I don't want to be an island
    But you fuel the silence

    It was you in
    You question why we bothered at all
    Because I don't want to be an island

    [Bridge]
    I forget where was and for a moment I was lost
    Oh I forget where I was and for a moment I was lost

    No I don't want to be an island
    No I don't want to be an island

    [Outro]
    You think you're pretty special don't you?
    Handsome face and faded culture
    The devil in the dark
