This Island lyrics

you must not love to hate

you must not take the bait

and learn to hit delete

you`d say the same thing to me

rent`s high

and the war`s on

and it`s last call

even your friends lok worried

my friends think you`re smart

we think you`re super-fine



but it`s high time

i mean it`s high tide

aka a fine line, inside



stop smoking those cigarettes, baby

next time it`s your turn to save me

splash some water on your little face cos

you`re a mess, you`re a mess, you`re a mess!



you must not roll your eyes

you should not often lie

how could you ever say

that your friends won`t be there

it`s a long walk on a cold night

when you wanna fight

over some day-old drama

you used to make us laugh

we want the old you back



cos it`s high time

i mean it`s high tide

aka a fine line, inside



stop smoking those cigarettes, baby

next time it`s your turn to save me

splash some water on your little face cos

you`re a mess, you`re a mess, you`re a mess!



this island where we live without a/c

is the city where we learn about painting

it was the title of the mix-tape you gave me

not where we`re from but the topic of daydreams

let`s take a tour of the bathrooms you cried in

for break-ups, bad lucks, shock of the lost twins



the horizon`s like a ship in flames tonight

you say you just don`t know

if you can take this city

cos the rent`s high

and the war`s on

and it`s last call

even your friends look worried

my friends all think you`re smart

we think you`re super-fine



but it`s high time

i mean it`s high tide

aka a fine line, inside



stop smoking those cigarettes, baby

next time it`s your turn to save me

splash some water on your little face cos

you`re a mess, you`re a mess, you`re a mess!
