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
