about

"This one started out as an exploration of love, why we need our very own island to maintain our identity, trying not to lose ourselves within a relationship. Women have a tendency to give up their identity, losing themselves in love. it's a lifelong struggle. After two verses the direction of the song changes and it turns into a break up song, and these lines came out of me, before i even knew we would break up ("and there you go again / hands in your lover's hands / blues in your lover's eyes"). It's one of the best lines i've ever written, and i didnt even mean to write it."

lyrics

1) and now there's loving you
with all my heart loving you
i never thought we'd make it through

i miss my lonelyness
my island named lonelyness
it's still out there in the northern sea

Bridge
i know you sail out there too
while i look out for you
oh i know you need it too
i do too, oh

2) love is a fairytale
recounted in record sales
it's pink and bright and sometimes blue

and underneath it all
it can't be chained at all
it moves and changes everyday

bridge
and sometimes it breaks the cage
lashes out and makes us rage
comes back and wraps us in
and we ride it, oh

3) and there you go again
hands in your lovers hands
blues in your lovers eyes

you feel a fool again
love made you blue again
oh baby they're just growing pains

bridge
and when they're gone there's just you
just yourself loving you
clouds they just come and go
but it's you who holds on
