It's always a struggle To let somebody go It's a natural desire To own your lover, I know And you can screw a man down Until he takes to drinking He'll give you all of his money You still won't know what he's thinking Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the island I'll watch the rain over your shoulder The streetlights in the water The moment outside of real life I never could dream while I was sleeping Put your arms around my soul And take it dancing. Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the island I'll watch the rain over your shoulder The streetlights on the wet stone The moment outside of real life Say you understand me And I will leave myself completely Forgive me if I stare But I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes Take me to the island I'll tell you all I never told you The boy I never showed you More than I gave in my life Take me by the hand You'll either kill me or you'll save me Take me to the island Show me what might be real life
