Lyrics
Just a pretty little island
Expressing the speaker's perspective of being on a beautiful and serene island.
you keep passing me by
Noticing that someone repeatedly passes by without much interaction.
push away just like the ocean
Comparing the person's actions to the way the ocean pushes things away.
pull me in with your tide
Describing the person's influence, pulling the speaker in like the tide.
and when you need me
Noting that the person only reaches out when they need something.
you come crashing in
Describing the person's sudden and forceful entrance into the speaker's life.
straight through my borders and under my skin
Expressing vulnerability as the person crosses emotional boundaries.
so can you leave me in paradise
Requesting to be left in peace and happiness.
far form your shallows and far from your lies cause what i got here is my own calm and bliss don't need you now when i've got this
Asserting independence, rejecting shallowness and deceit, finding contentment within.
cause everything is golden
Highlighting the positivity and perfection in the speaker's current state.
when my hands are you
Stating that everything is ideal when the speaker is in control.
nothing but the ocean
Emphasizing the vastness and depth of the emotional experience.
to fall back into
Referencing the possibility of returning to a comforting and familiar state.
float away forever
Expressing a desire to drift away indefinitely.
I'd be happy to
Expressing contentment with the prospect of floating away.
I'm better here than i was with you
Declaring personal improvement in the current situation compared to past experiences.
just a pretty little island
Reiterating the idea of being on a beautiful island unexpectedly.
took me in by surprise
Expressing surprise at the depth of the connection with the person.
thought i knew you
Realizing that the speaker's understanding of the person was flawed.
but you had me on the phone at midnight telling me i had misunderstood
Recalling a late-night conversation that revealed a misunderstanding.
boy keep those waves in your own neighbourhood
Advising the person to keep their emotional "waves" within their own life.
cause everything is golden
Reiterating the positive feelings when in control of one's own life.
when my hands are you
Affirming the speaker's sense of well-being when in control.
nothing but the ocean
