Below, you will find the lyrics for Islands of Me by Nelly Furtado.
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'
Chorus 1
Is this the meanin' of bein' free?
When the only one on this island is me
Is this our one true destiny?
Everywhere i look all i see
Are islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me
Verse 2
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?
Chorus 2
Is this the meanin' of bein' free?
When the only one on this island is me
Is this what we are meant to be?
Everywhere i look all i see
Are islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Islands of me, me, me
Bridge
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
Chorus 3
Is this the meanin' of bein' free?
When the only one on this island is me
Is this our one true destiny?
Everywhere i look all i see
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
