To the Island Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You pick me up with a smile for my weakness
I'm bittersweet but you care about me
You found me lost in the chaos and confusion
You said it's possible that we can be free
You take my hand and then you sweep me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, let me move you (Off my feet)
Come to the island
Where we can save our souls
It's just the right size

[Chorus]
The world is beyond us
It's too enormous
But oh, the island is just right
It's the perfect size

[Verse 2]
You pick me up with the promise of love
Our names on the door at the island of real
You havе a way of being gentle and tough
In еvery sense I think you know how I feel
'Cause I'm afraid of things I don't understand
And now I need a little hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, let me move you (The cities covered in smoke)
Come to the island (The whole system's broke)
Where we can save our souls
It's just the right size (For me)

[Chorus]
The world is beyond us (Let's not get into a fight)
It's too enormous (Irene Goodnight)
But oh, the island is just right
It's the perfect size
Just right
It's the perfect size (For me)

The world is beyond us (Shit just got real)
It's too enormous (Fell under the wheel)
But oh, the island is just right
It's the perfect size for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
