Islands In The Stream
Feist & The Constantines Lyrics

Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
When I first met you, my life was calm and peaceful in a way that I had never experienced before.

I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was determined to find out everything about you, down to the smallest details.

I was soft inside
Despite my determined front, my feelings for you were tender and genuine.

There was something going on
There was an indescribable spark between us that was impossible to ignore.

You do something to me that I can't explain
Your presence and influence on me is powerful and unexplainable.

Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Being close to you has a therapeutic effect on me, and makes me forget any pain or worries.

And every beat of my heart
My love for you is consistent and ongoing, as represented by the beating of my heart.

We got something going on
The connection between us is undeniable and meaningful.

Tender love is blind
Love that is gentle and pure does not need to be justified or explained, it is simply felt.

It requires a dedication
To maintain this kind of love, both parties must be committed and devoted to each other.

All this love we feel needs no conversation
Our love for each other is so strong that it does not require words, as it is seen and felt through our actions and emotions.

We ride it together, ah ha
As partners, we move through life together and handle all obstacles as a team.

Making love with each other, ah ha
Our love is physical as well as emotional, and experiencing intimacy with each other is a natural expression of that love.

Islands in the stream
We are alone together, drifting through life like two islands in a river.

That is what we are
Our relationship is isolated and unique, and we treasure it above all else.

No one in between
There are no obstacles or third parties affecting our love for each other.

How can we be wrong?
Our love for each other is pure and honest, and therefore cannot be wrong.

Sail away with me
Let's leave everything else behind and start a new adventure together.

To another world
Together we will create a new reality, separate from the outside world.

And we rely on each other, ah ha
We depend on each other completely, for support, love, and strength.

From one lover to another, ah ha
As lovers, we communicate and understand each other through actions and emotion more than words.

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Our love is so integral to my existence that without it, I would not be able to survive.

Everything is nothing when you got no one
Without love, everything else is meaningless and empty.

And you walk in the night
When you are alone, you feel lost and uncertain, wandering aimlessly.

Slowly losing sight of the real thing
Without love, the world around you becomes blurry and meaningless, and it is easy to lose sight of what is truly important.

That won't happen to us and we got no doubt
We are certain that our love will never fade or disappear, and we are confident in our dedication to each other.

Too deep in love and we got no way out
Our love is so strong that there is no turning back or escaping it, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

And the message is clear
Our love is so powerful and clear that it is evident to everyone around us.

This could be the year for the real thing
Our love is true and genuine, and we believe that this could be the beginning of something truly special.

No more will you cry
Our love is so strong that we promise each other we will never cause each other pain or sadness again.

Baby I will hurt you never
Our love is built on trust and security, and we will never intentionally cause each other pain or heartbreak.

We start and end as one
Our love is so integral to our identities that we see ourselves as a single entity, rather than two separate individuals.

In love forever
Our love is eternal and unchanging, and we are committed to each other for life.

You can sail away with me
I want you to join me on this journey of love and life, and we will face everything together as one.
