Fantasy Island Lyrics - The Shins

Long in tooth, olives and vermouth 

I dine like an aging pilot 

Where are they now, the money and the crowd? 

Must I really come back down? 

It's like I never was a kid, the big math just wasted youth on me 

Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me 

And now I want to fall into something else 

An origami plane to a distant island 

And I don't want to show you my feelings 

I don't want to force you to deal 

I just want to crash through the ceiling 

Before it gets too real

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

All my life, compromise on wings of resignation 

Big grey eyes, staring from the skies 

Am I humble enough now? 

I've always had something to hide 

My skinny arms, my evil intentions 

And back in school, hitting the fire alarms 

Desperately wanting attention 

Well I was just a boy 

Out there on my own 

Wishing I could fly 

Fantasy Island 

And I don't want to show you my feelings 

I don't want to bore you to death 

I just want to crash through the ceiling 

Get it off my chest

Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me 

Well I was just a boy 

Out there on my own 

Wishing I could fly 

Fantasy Island 

And I don't want to show you my feelings 

I don't want to force you to deal 

I just want to crash through the ceiling 

Before it gets too real 

Before it gets too real 

Before it gets too real 

Real, oh, oh, oh
