Lyrics
God I love this island
She knows where I am
Throwing rocks into the sea
Trying to understand
Christmas lights surround you
A tourist in your town
Setting fire to the ferris wheel
Burning it to the ground
My girl's a heart attack
She's on fire
Hanging out on the corner
Fighting for her life
God I know I'm empty
Broken down by storm and sea
Surrendering slowly
These problems are all me
And I went to the doctor
She called my name out loud
I tried the same with you
Listening for the sound
My girl's a heart attack
She's on fire
Hanging out on the corner
Fighting for her life
I'll write a lonely book
I'll settle down with you
I'll make a birthday cake
I'll walk you in on your first day
Our summers will be long
Our winters will feel warm
Our lives will be a song
From some dumb American film
Straighten out all your lies
Forget your long goodbyes
To have and to hold for life
Pretend you've seen the light
My girl's a heart attack
She's on fire
Hanging out on the corner
Fighting for her life
