Islands Of Me

Islands Of Me Lyrics

[Nelly Furtado]
Adolescent dreams
(Runnin' in stride with me)
Reason for misbehavin'
Indulgin' all my cravings
Makin' time for daydreamin'
And never really seein'
I sit around just teemin'
Everything losin' meanin'
Is this the meanin' of bein' free?
The only one of us livin' is me
Is this our one true destiny?
Everywhere I look on the scene
Are islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me....
The custom of my country is to never grow up
Run away from everything 'til I get better luck
Why should I have to look and never touch
What I wanna touch, what I wanna touch
What I wanna touch?
Is this the meanin' of bein' free?
The only one of us livin' is me
Is this what we are meant to be?
Everywhere I look on the scene
Are islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Adolescent dreams breakin' out of me
But the sun is comin' and the world is runnin'
Kool-Aid I drink, pour it on the street
Do it in memory of my melancholy
Is this the meanin' of bein' free?
The only one of us livin' is me
Is this what we are meant to be?
Everywhere I look on the scene
Are islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
(Islands of me...!)
