Message In A Bottle
All Saints & Sting Lyrics

Just a cast away, an island lost at sea, oh
I'm stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean, all alone.

Another lonely day, no one here but me, oh
I spend every day in solitude, without anyone to talk to.

More loneliness than any man could bear
The level of isolation I face is unbearable for any person.

Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
I'm desperate for someone to come and save me from sinking into depression.

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'm going to send a signal asking for help from anyone who can hear me.

I hope that someone gets my
I'm hoping that somebody receives my plea for assistance.

message in a bottle, yeah
My request for help is written down and put in a bottle, hoping that it reaches someone.

A year has passed since I wrote my note
I've been trying to send out a signal for over a year now.

I should have known this right from the start
I made a mistake by not expecting to be stranded and unaided from the beginning.

Only hope can keep me together
The only thing keeping me from losing my mind is believing that someone will come save me.

Love can mend your life but love can break your heart
My romantic and emotional struggles are insignificant compared to my desperate need for assistance.

Walked out this morning, I don't believe what I saw
Today I saw something that I struggled to believe was real.

A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
A seemingly endless ocean of messages in bottles has washed up on my island, but still nobody has rescued me.

Seems I'm not alone in being alone
I'm not the only one feeling isolated as I've realized there are many people out there in the world who feel the same way I do.

A hundred billion castaways looking for a home
There's an unfathomable amount of people out there like myself, who are left to fend for themselves and searching for a way to call for help.

Sending out an SOS
I'm still trying to send my signal for help.
