From the recording As Is

Lyrics

The evening gleams of golden ocean
Shine so beautifully then disappear
And with them goes any notion
That I'll be sailing past this pier

I know I know I know I gotta get moving
But this sand is sinking me
I don't know what I'm doing
But I know the wind feels right
And maybe it's time...

To pack my bags, put this island for sale
It's sure been grand, but it's got me goin' nowhere
And I can't keep hiding in this paradise, yeah
And the wide open waters ain't much like navigating on sand
But I'd rather get lost looking than deserted on land
And in time, imma gonna find another island...
On the other side of that horizon

Well not not too far beyond the beach
I started feeling current pulling me
This way, that way
Maybe I should think about slowing down
It'd be so easy just to turn around

Oh but I know I know I know I gotta keep swimming
This water's getting deep
Maybe that's just living
And I know the tide was high
But it was high time for me to just

Pack these put this island for sale
It's sure been grand, but it's got me goin' nowhere
And I can't keep hiding in this paradise, yeah
And the wide open waters ain't much like navigating on sand
But I'd rather get lost looking than deserted on land
And in time, imma gonna find another island...
On the other side of that horizon

I know I know I know I gotta get moving
This sand is sinking me; I don't know what I'm doing
And moving is hard sometimes
Oh but there's paradise inside

If I can just pack these bags, put this island for sale
It's sure been grand, but it's got me goin' nowhere
And I can't keep hiding in this paradise, yeah
And the wide open waters ain't much like navigating on sand
But I'd rather get lost looking than deserted on land
And in time, imma gonna find another island...
On the other side of that horizon

Oh and I know I know I know
I gotta get moving
