Island
Wet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today New York feels like an island
Cool and wet, take me out
Cool and wet, lay me down
I'm on fire, put me out

Like you want me, say you do
Say you need me, cool and wet
Come up for air, hold me down

Like you want me, just say the words

Today your room felt just like the ocean
Cool and wet, lay me down
Cool and grey, light falls away
You feed this fire and walk away

Don't you want me, say you do
Say you need me, cool and wet
Come up for air, hold me down
Like you want me, just say the words
Just say the words
Just say the words
Just say the words

Two lines move me with their purpose
Forth and back, I fall off track
You leave this fire and don't look back

Don't you want me, say you do
Say you need me, cool and wet
Come up for air, hold me down
Like you want me, just say the words
Don't you want me, say you do
Say you need me, cool and wet
Come up for air, hold me down
Like you want me, just say the words
Don't you want me (just say the words)
Say you need me (just say the words)

Come up for air (just say the words)
Like you want me (just say the words)
