now we've started something that
we've both gotta see right through

I’m an island in the ocean
free and I belong to no-one
At the mercy of the sea
the waves play like a symphony
crashing in from all directions

Ships pass and planes fly over
looks like they’re speeding fast
but going nowhere
and they never seem to notice me
no time for new discovery
trying to reach their destination

‘cause you can go anywhere you want
and you can be whatever you wanna be
you can do anything, do anything want
but don’t you forget about me

Stranded out here in the open
walking in the wrong direction
in a lonely world of fantasy
don’t give up so easily
try to make a new connection

I can feel it coming, feel it everywhere
a kinda strange sensation, something in
the air, a million words could never
fill a last goodbye so
give me one more night

He’s holding up but sure enough he’s
tearing at the seams, beat up and
tried like a little rag doll
But he’s old enough and strong enough
to remember the man he used to be,
the life and soul

But when he’s home sitting all alone
too drunk to be around anyone
too blind to see all the damage done,
man that ain’t no way to have fun

Somebody said happiness ain’t getting
what you want but wanting what you get
it’s a state of mind, let yourself go free
Everybody’s searching for someone
they think they oughta,trying to wanna,
never never never really be

Cos when you’re home sitting all alone
too tired to be around anyone, too blind
to see you’re not the only one
Man that ain’t no way to have fun

People fight to make it right to
hold on to that feeling inside
and some might say it’s a losing game,
be a fool to play; don’t even try
But no, not you and I,
we make it look so easy

Some start off fast and end up last;
find their falling at the first
but even when the road is long
we’re going strong, don’t feel like work

And they tell me that I
am the luckiest guy
cos when it comes to loving, you and I
we make it look so easy

we don’t have to try at all
cos it comes so natural
and love can be impossible but
we make it look so easy

there’s so many who strive
through complications to find
a simple kinda love like you and I
we make it look so easy

Easy like the love we make (So Easy)
Easy like a summer’s day (So Easy)
Easy like a morning breeze (So Easy)
Easy like you and me

I was going nowhere until you came along
and brightened up my day
But you were having a moment,
somebody had done you wrong,
there were tears streaming down your face
And I remember so clearly just a few
months on, I still think about that day
How you did something to me,
how it felt so wrong to let you walk away

And I’m not one to regret
but I know I’m not ready yet
to stand aside and watch you slowly
slipping through my fingers baby

You got my heart on a string,
yeah you know ya do If I ever see you again
I’m just your toy on a string
yeah you know it’s true
And I’ll promise you everything

One day I thought I saw you, but it was just
some girl, she had hair just like yours
Going out of my mind, following ghosts
down empty stairways and corridors

but you’re there behind my eyes
when I can’t get to sleep at night
Girl I’ve got to get you, girl I’ve got to get
you in my life

You got my heart on a string,
yeah you know ya do
If I ever see you again
I’m just your toy on a string
yeah you know it’s true
And I’ll promise you everything
You held my heart on a string
when I noticed you
Like a flower abloom in the spring

You can’t deny it
Don’t try to fight it
When Serendipity comes calling for you
When it comes knocking on your door

You got my heart on a string,
yeah you know ya do
If I ever see you again
I’m just your toy on a string
yeah you know it’s true
And I’ll promise you everything
You held my heart on a string
when I noticed you
Like a flower abloom in the spring
I’ll be your toy on a string
yes I promise you
If I ever see you again
