the island.

so I float here
with brightened skies
and widened eyes.
float here waiting for you.

and the waves, they slowly
press my shores
day in, day out
even though you never do.

so tell me why
you passed me by
never bothered looking back?
so tell me why
you passed me by
never knowing what you lacked?

I could have been your island
but you had to have the sea.
I could have been your eternity
but you never noticed me.

you passed me by.
you passed me by.

so I float here
with darkened skies
and saddened eyes.
float here wondering why.

and the waves still slowly
press my shores
day in, day out
even though you never tried.

so tell me why
you passed me by
never bothered looking back?
so tell me why
you passed me by
never knowing what you lacked?

I should have been your island
but you had to have the sea.
I should have been your eternity
but you never noticed me.

you passed me by.
you passed me by.
