Seven hours from home
I'm on this island alone
So used to using my phone
But now the time goes so slow
Twenty-four hours today
I sat and stared at the bay
I feel the salt on my face
It's eating away
You all feel so out of reach
I sleep alone right on the beach
I thought this would bring me peace
Didn't think I'd ever get tired of palm trees
Yeah, well
It's time to come out of my cave!
I think I'll go play in the waves!
So sick of waiting in this haze
Even if I have to swim, I'm gonna get out of this place!
You all feel so out of reach
I sleep alone right on the beach
I thought this would bring me peace
Never thought I'd get tired of palm trees
But here I am, under the sun
With not a clue as to where I'm goin'
And I can choose, I choose to believe that
Someone up there is watching me
Through all the chaos and all the worries
I was left with more than stories
All the weight that had me pinned
Washed away when I let you in
I left some things back at the beach
Things that I do not want to be
And now I'm far, far from the shore
Thank God I'm not who I was before
And all the rain came pouring down
And everything was blowing around
In the midst, you gave me peace
No matter what surrounded me
I know now that I'm not an island
I know now that you have not been silent
Although the waves may still be violent
At your command, they will be quiet
I can hear all the crashing in my mind
But now it feels like a different kind
Gears are turning, I'm relearning
I'm so thankful now that I'm returning
I'm finally home
No longer alone
Why would I use my phone?
Who cares if time goes slow?
You don't feel so out of reach
You're with me here on the beach
I see your beauty in palm trees
You have brought me peace
Peace
Peace
Peace
Peace
