Song Lyrics

"Message In A Bottle studio version recorded with Sly Robbie"

by Matisyahu
Album: No place to be

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known straight from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

TV's a jet stream hold off until tomorrow
Internet flat screen what's the message in your bottle

She'll be comin around the mountain when she comes full throttle
Battleaxe can chop em down that's the call of the wild
There's no message in your bottle emptiness its just hollow
Think the way to wake up is through sex that's just shallow
Tossing seed into the wind producin loss and sorrow
Draculas on MTV sucking blood from the marrow
Hearts hardened like stone wantin to be known like Pharaoh
'Said to let me people go that's just the call of the wild
Children drowning in the rivers...
...hard to swallow
If its roots are cut off how we can feed this flower
Might look pretty temporary, but rotten within the hour
Disconnected from its source with no footsteps to follow
Chasing death...bridge that's narrow.


Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
