lyrics

You sailed until you found an island
To live on
And I am in your waters

You watch for me
Telescoping from your shores
I am sailing haphazardly
For an island of my own

And she quells storms
To the best of her abilities
And worries on the rain that she lets through
Has dreams of filling up my sailboats and sending me under
But at least I could stay here if so

When prevailing winds
In the evenings guide my drifting
I wonder where the edges of her territory are
And if other islands start appearing as horizon specks
And I feel like I’m nearing the edge
I’ll cut my losses and jump

---

Oh baby
If I couldn’t be
Your man anymore

How would you feel about me
Being your girl?
