Islands Of Me Lyrics - Nelly Furtado

[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...!)
