[Verse]
Let's say we chalk it all up to
A recluse and endocrine abuse
A Gemini on the wrong side, couldn't choose one
So whatcha really running from?
Said that you couldn't see me
Struggling in the undertow
So stop waving back
I'm drowning in plain view

[Chorus]
What's it feel like to be alone
On an island in the sky?
So what's it feel like to be alone
On an island in the sky?
You'll sit back and wonder why
When the years start slipping by
Could we buy back time
With money if we try?

[Verse]
If this is what you want, I guess I'll play along
Through your stereo on your drive home like a sad song
And she said "boy, you can take all your empty promisеs
Straight to the bank of sad excuses 'causе we're so over this"
[Chorus]
What's it feel like to be alone
On an island in the sky?
So what's it feel like to be alone
On an island in the sky?
You'll sit back and wonder why
When the years start slipping by
Could we buy back time
With money if we try?

[Bridge]
But there are no second chances
Not from the starting line
We couldn't go back if we tried
So I choose this lonely island
Hanging above the clouds
And I'll never come down to be safe

[Chorus]
What's it feel like to be alone
On an island in the sky?
So what's it feel like to be alone
On an island in the sky?
You'll sit back and wonder why
When the years start slipping by
Could we buy back time
With money if we try?
