Message In A Bottle
Sting / Gordon Sumner Lyrics

Just a cast away, an island lost at sea, oh
I am stranded on an island all by myself and feel helpless.

Another lonely day, no one here but me, oh
It's just another day of loneliness and isolation for me.

More loneliness than any man could bear
The burden of being completely alone is too much for me to handle.

Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
I desperately need someone to come to my rescue before I completely lose hope and fall into despair.

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'm sending out an urgent message to anyone who can help.

I hope that someone gets my
I'm hoping that someone will receive my message and come to my aid.

message in a bottle, yeah
I'm sending my message through a bottle, hoping it will reach someone somehow.

A year has passed since I wrote my note
It's been a whole year since I've been isolated and sent my message out for help.

I should have known this right from the start
I should have realized the dangers of being alone and asked for help sooner.

Only hope can keep me together
At this point, hope is the only thing keeping me sane and holding me together.

Love can mend your life but love can break your heart
Love is a double-edged sword that can either heal or hurt a person deeply.

Walked out this morning, I don't believe what I saw
Upon waking up, I was shocked to see a large number of bottles washed up on the shore.

A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
There are countless other people like me, desperately trying to send out their own messages for help.

Seems I'm not alone in being alone
Despite feeling completely alone, I'm not actually the only person in this situation.

A hundred billion castaways looking for a home
There are a seemingly endless number of people who feel like outcasts and are searching for a place to belong.

Sending out an SOS
I'm continuing to send out my message of distress, hoping that someone will hear it and come to my aid.
