I thought about
Leaving - but I couldn't even get outta bed
I'm hanging 'cause I couldn't get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come 'round
I thought about
Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words
Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about
Now I'm down
And I wonder how I never got the Burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind
Takes time
So I wonder how I never got the Burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
And I wonder how I never got the Burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
All this time I wonder how I never got the Burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make the life
One strain at a time and still shineIf you don't treat me
If you don't...yeah
If you don't treat me better
Baby, I'll just run away oh yeah
Baby, I don't know what drives you
To play these silly games oh yeah
hey Come on baby, I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes, I'm not afraid to let it show
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island?
I got a brand new dress babe
Could it make you wanna try, oh yeah...
I guess I didn't want to notice
The stars gone from your eyes yeah
Come on baby, I'm must stronger than you know
Sometimes I'm not afraid to let it show
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island?

We could buy an airplane (yeah yeah)
Build a home in the sand (yeah yeah)
You could tell your secrets (yeah yeah)
I could understand (Yeah yeah)
But then by the morning (yeah yeah)
It comes crumbling down (Yeah yeah)
And as you're leavin'(yeah yeah)
Wait...
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool baby
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
You're so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island?
Is it cool baby yeah
If you don't treat me better
Baby I'll just run away cool on your island yeah
If you don't treat me
