The Dangerous Summer
You’re My Island
[Verse 1: Luke Kanipe]
She's beautiful to everyone except herself
When I tell her she's perfect, she tells me she's not
So I tell her, "If I could change anything about you
Next to nothing, I would change your eyes
I would give you mine
So you could see how beautiful you truly are
If you can't love yourself
I'll show you how I can see the perfect in you
You remind me of my favorite album, The Carter II
What I'd do to listen to it with you
You remind me of my favorite food; pizza, maybe tacos
If you can't see how beautiful you are
I would make sure you hear it every day"
[Pre-Chorus: AJ Perdomo]
So cram into me, you're my island, I
I breathe you empty (I breathe you empty)
Lost out at sea, but your eyes are bright
And they're calling me
[Chorus: AJ Perdomo]
I'll give you what you wanna have
I'll be there when you need a friend
I'll miss when I'm down and out
So tell me how far I'll go to meet you there
[Verse 2: Luke Kanipe]
You are a bright, bright yellow
You are the prettiest sunflower I've ever seen
You are breeze before the storm
You are chaotic but calm
When I look at you, I see poetry
The kind that moves you and keeps you grounded at the same time
Your eyes always seem to put me at ease
(Your eyes don't always show what you mean)
(They're focused on taking me in)
(They open you up to me)
(Your eyes tell me you love me)
(They tell me when you're happy, when you're worried)
(They tell me it'll all be okay)
(They blink, they wink and sparkle)
(You are art and I will show you that you are)
[Chorus: AJ Perdomo]
I'll give you what you wanna have
I'll be there when you need a friend
I'll miss when I'm down and out
So tell me how far I'll go to meet you there
[Outro: Luke Kanipe]
(I fell in love with the girl from this song)
(She's everything I want)
(And always has been all along)
