Young The Giant - Islands Lyrics
Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast
I know
You were my lover
Incantation
Off the tide
In rhyme
Oh, what if the whole world finds you waiting
Oh, as it can so long now have
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
The way you move, a foreign groove, at night
I could never hold you
Watch it rise and where you hide your pearl
Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones
All the years I miss your warmth
Have you missed my warmth?
On your island

vaya temazo
God I wish this song was longer
Those drums are everything.
Automatically appear floating islands in the sky
Not on Spotify:(
cromulons showmewhatyougot yes it is :))
He was in no rush singing this song... reminiscent of holding the woman he was thinking of as he wrote this song..
Hands down their best song🌊
I prefer many others. But I do think this is easily the best one off the self title.
Legit thought this was ZAYN first. Holy shit.
Still LOVE LOVE LOVE this track, makes my heart ache
Howcome this isnt in spotify:(
i've been in a long distance relationship for five years.
thinking of all the time we have spent worlds apart.
souls intertwined. drifting through the ether. longing to be home.
the heartache we're force to endure until we reunite.
the way you move, a foreign groove.
I could never hold you. have you missed my warmth?
i feel this on a spiritual level
I wish this song was forever long
This song is straight up about eating 🐱💦
Une minute 53 seconde, la montée au ciel! Ouf....
Why is this not on spotify?!
This song makes me transient in reality. Absolute gold.
This song and this group are life.
I really thought this song was about going down on a girl
I appreciate his artist, man gotta say I appreciate that
This is one of those super good songs that give you nostalgia even though you barely found it.
loooove this song so much <3
he sounds exactly like ZAYN!!!
what genre is this?
Alternative. But quiet.
HHHH LG DI SIANTAR NIH W
FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG
how does this not have 10 million views?
the part at 1:44 with headphones is so beautiful omg
I love this song!
I don't really listen to Indie music, this was a recommended song by a friend of mine.
It was a song on repeat for me two years ago.
After 2 years, the melody of this song has been stuck in my head.
I couldn't remember the name of the song, or the name of this band. Only the melody, not even any whole lyrics.
I searched for 5 minutes, here it is.
I almost cried when I found it.
Cant stop listening it...out of this world
Lyrics
Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast
I know
Five ways
You were my lover
Incantation
Off the tide
In rhyme
Oh, what if the whole world finds you waiting
Oh, as it can so long now have
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
The way you move, a foreign groove, at night
I could never
I could never hold you
Watch it rise and where you hide your pearl
Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones
All the years I miss your warmth
Have you missed my warmth?
On your island
🗻
this took me to another world. how has only 4 minutes passed
these guys "move outside of the box"....but in a good way!
All the years I've missed your warmth.
Have you missed my warmth?
Its such a simple song yet it takes you somewhere...
i have legit been ,listening to this song over the years and i just recently made it part of my everyday. still not sick of it <3 its so calming... you can just lose yourself in it
Man I was about to cry at my desk... It seemed so quick I'm like no it can't be over
I can never believe four minutes pass when listening to this song.
Yeah exactly, four minutes just slip by before I have a chance to even realize it.
Yes! This happened to me just now! I had to recheck if it really was 4 min.
Same !! I was really shocked the first time I listened it
It was and it still too short for me😂
3 years late but I had the same thought.
This is one of those songs that feels exactly as it was meant to. It takes you far away, to another world.
this song is the best
underwater
This song is amazing, is amazing. I did a cover on it, if anyone would check it out, it'd be appreciated.
THE.FEEEELS.
Does anybody know any songs similar to this? I really love this one but I can't find any like it? I'd really appreciate any suggestions! Also, does anybody know what type of song this is?
Taro and Arrival in Nara by Alt-J have very similar sounds to this. They're both incredible songs
Megan Vickers bon iver
Megan Vickers oceans by pearl jam
Rubber ball cage the elephant
Fire Escape by Foster The People. It’s kinda different sounding but it gives me the same peaceful feeling that this song does
Invites me to die in peace without any hesitation
The "ahahah" in the beginning 😍 chills

In love with this song ..
Sameer jesus christ dude make love to me nowwwwwwwwww
Dhoom Pichaka Dhoom.
Love this Song
Invites me to die.
ughh why do they have to be so good? my whole phone is going to be filled with their music
Very relaxing. x
beautiful! it has a Coldplay feel. But sooo much more awesome.
true. but better than coldplay any day.
Nothing is better than coldplay
@***** Clearly your eardrums are jaded or broken. No matter, I'll enjoy them for you :)
@***** Love Interpol... I will have to check out the others. Very different artists, though. Coldplay will always have a special place in my heart
@***** You know, I never really got why people feel that way about Coldplay! They enjoy it in a hush-hush way :( I like them a million times better than U2, a more popular one to claim as a favorite. Idc what anyone thinks, I *adore* Coldplay! Fix You tears me up every time, & I walked down the aisle to Reign of Love off of Death and all his Friends. Don't let them be just a guilty pleasure!! Lol :D
Fun fact, Sameer was a creative writing major so that is why their songs have very deep and unique meanings. I love them so much and if you've never seen them live you should go to one, you will not be disappointed.
He was a human biology major Pre-med.
I love this song omfgalkajflajdflklmgna
great song...perfect..thanks for sharing..:-)
check the Ark Patrol remix for a great time!
I could never… i could never hold you 😍
Reminds me a lot of Jeff Buckley. Sameer's got some awesome vocals!
This song literally gives me the chills, I love it.
Been on repeat for 2 hours straight. Bliss.
@***** Fucking awesome ^_^
such an eerie song
wtf I thought the singer was a girl hahaha
Partially deaf or just friends with a lot of manly sounding chicks?
I could never hold you.
You are deaf.
You are the deaf one he does indeed sing I could never hold you
"Under water..." feels. I have them. Also chills, I have those too.
have you missed my warmth...on your island?
All the years I've missed your warmth
dude .................... thats is all :)
I cant stop listing to this, I cant.
I don't get how.. but when I was at ytg concert sameer said this song was about being "guilty for a crime or bad deed you're not sure you even commited or not. Huh..
i get what he's saying. it's a strange emotion but it occurs. still confusing nontheless.
Maybe he meant like...regret over past things you just can't change. Whether the consequence would have turned out better or worse if you did something differently, you can't ever know..
Well, the song is very love oriented, so I'l take a swing and say that said crime is probably in the category of hurting your lover through miscommunication - "The way you move, a foreign groove.... I could never really hold you". But, as with all relationships with bad communication, you can never really be sure what you did. If it was that specific memory you have that caused a downward spiral, or something else entirely, or something that actually was not your doing at all, but it was actually your lover who was at a different emotional place.
I love this
ahhh yeah
Oh, out in the glow I'll find you waiting.
Watch is rise up where you hide your pearls
Feel it pile up where you cast those stones, you wear.
Wow! Thanks Jamie!
Wrote my scholarship essays to this song. It really got the creative spark going!
Thank You YTG!
can´t stop to listen...............
When it will comes YTG2!
Amazing ! I´m loving it !
Loving it!
YTG2 comeeeeeeeeeeeeee at meeee
shouldn't it be "oh all in the glow of fire" or something and also "watch it rise up where you hide your pearls, Feel it pile up where you cast the stones you where"
the description lyrics are misleading...
Yes.!!!!!!
Love YTG! Awesome tune!
