Islands Lyrics
[Verse 1: Romy]
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't overlook
[Chorus: Romy & Both]
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found now
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done
[Verse 2: Oliver & Both]
That bridge is on fire
Back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be
If this were to go under?
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't overlook
[Chorus: Romy & Both]
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found now
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done
[Verse 2: Oliver & Both]
That bridge is on fire
Back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be
If this were to go under?
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make
About
Genius Annotation
“Islands” is about fully committing oneself to one person in that relationship. Although the narrator has had other relationships and casual flings, the relationship they find in this song is powerful enough for them to write off anybody else.
