If I'm a desert

My face is the wind

I know where I'm going

And I know where I've been

You're the horizon and the wide open space

And I surround you caressing your face

There's not a limit to the things that I'd do

I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do

You're like the lava burning buried below

An eruption but too early to show

We are islands

Hear our sirens

And so we wait

We wait

'Cause when pressure heightens

Our coal makes diamonds

And so we wait

We wait

The flood comes shifting the soil

Our blood runs thicker than oil

It's like erosion cutting straight to the core

No human nature ever felt this before

And we become an unbreakable vow

I wanna hold you up higher than most

Because it feels like flying out

We are islands

Hear our sirens

And so we wait

We wait

'Cause when pressure heightens

Our coal makes diamonds

And so we wait

We wait

We are islands

Hear our sirens

And so we wait

We wait

'Cause when pressure heightens

Our coal makes diamonds

And so we wait

We wait

Wait down in front of me

Wait down
