I guess I was living like an island,
I hid my heart under the sea,
Who can hurt you hide away'
Thought I'd never see the light of day,
Then you told me it would be okay,
Can I be certain'
No man is an island.
I stood my ground, taller than a building,
I had my head up in the clouds,
I was living under lock and key,
Like a rock there was no bending me,
Love's the power that's upended me,
Felt the earthquake,
I'm falling like a building.
I was tied up, busy as a freeway,
Wheels were spinning 'round,
I was going nowhere,
Bridges burning,
Overpasses down,
No one to help me if I hit the ground,
You're the highway heading out of town, won't you take me there'
I guess I was living like an island,
I stood my ground, taller than a building,
I was tied up, busy as a freeway,
Then you rescued me.(then you rescued me)
