Lyrics Island - Sherie René Scott, Justin Guarini, Laura Benanti

Island

I though we had just what we needed
A life you could hold in your hand
But now that the waves have receeded
I see it was all a reflection on subwater
I built a house in the sand
Gathered all my hopes and put them inside
So drunk with the view
I forgot to watch out for the tide
Well here comes the tide
Where does it go?
Where does it go?
When it goes away
Where does it go?
I thought I saw it here yesterday
Do you just watch it all disappear?
Almost within reach
But vanishing away
You can find so much
You can lose so much in a day
In a single day
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
(Where did it go?)
What do you do?
When do you know?
When it can’t be saved?
Where did it go?
I wish you’d tell me
Cause I forget
(where did it go?)
Up in the clouds?
Up with the smoke from your cigarrette?
Where did it go?
Where did you go?
