Leave This Island

[Verse 1] Have you ever been compelled? Under a spell? From a protagonist who knows you far too well? Have you ever been undone By a slip of the tongue? And betrayed a side of you that felt hard won? So we watch the water swell From a Scottish hotel [Pre-Chorus] "Have you ever fell Have you ever fell?" Are you going to tell me why There's a backpack by the bedroom window? It's a pack of lies: "Everything has to reach a peak sometime." Tell me why There's a map lying flat on the bedside table? It's a pack of lies – It's not a peak it's a plateau [Chorus] Let me know When you want to leave this island Let me know When you want to hear my point of view [Verse 2] In the Observation lounge Couples ready to pounce But there's a retisence from threading icy ground So we watch the water swell From a Scottish hotel [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Chorus] I'll stand up for you I'll stand up for you I'll stand up for you [Bridge] I will act as a semaphore I will guide you to a perfect landing I will act as a distant shore I will aim to be the last man standing for you I will act as a semaphore I will guide you to a perfect landing I'll stand up for you I'll stand up for you When you want to leave this island When you want to hear my point of view
