Maxïmo Park Leave This Island

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Have you ever been compelled?
Under a spell?
From a protagonist who knows you far too well?

Have you ever been undone
By a slip of the tongue?
And betrayed a side of you that felt hard won?

So we watch the water swell
From a Scottish hotel

[Pre-Chorus]
„Have you ever fell
Have you ever fell?”

Are you going to tell me why
There’s a backpack by the bedroom window?
It’s a pack of lies:
„Everything has to reach a peak sometime.”

Tell me why
There’s a map lying flat on the bedside table?
It’s a pack of lies –
It’s not a peak it’s a plateau

[Chorus]
Let me know
When you want to leave this island
Let me know
When you want to hear my point of view

[Verse 2]
In the Observation lounge
Couples ready to pounce
But there’s a retisence from threading icy ground

So we watch the water swell
From a Scottish hotel

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

I’ll stand up for you
I’ll stand up for you
I’ll stand up for you

[Bridge]
I will act as a semaphore
I will guide you to a perfect landing
I will act as a distant shore
I will aim to be the last man standing for you
I will act as a semaphore
I will guide you to a perfect landing

I’ll stand up for you
I’ll stand up for you

When you want to leave this island
When you want to hear my point of view
