The other day I saw somebody who look just like you
She sat across me on the bus, her expression was blue
I thought she might look up at me and maybe recognize
But she kept her head down and got off at the light
I thought about chasing her, my hands on the window we drove past
Imagination running behind her like, "Come back
Now I don't usually do this I wanna see you again
You remind me of a friend I used to know back when times were simpler
And nobody asking me for a favor"
Thеn she would crack a smile and tell mе don't be a stranger
And I would say I'll call you, her number down on a paper
And she would make the sound a pigeon make, then see me later
But instead I rode the line until it finished
All night on that empty bus, just like it was Christmas
I don't miss you, no, I only miss your presence
Another sunny day in paradise without you in it
I've been looking for an Island, Island
Can you come help me find it, find it
Let you be the pilot
Then you let me go
I've been looking for an Island, Island
Can you come help me find it, find it
Let you be the pilot
Then you let me go
I'll just pretend that I'm in paradise
Without you, without you here
I'll try to find a better way of life
Without you, it's not so clear
I followed you into my dreams, you led me here
My feet was on the grass, your hands was in the air
I walk behind you, afraid you might disappear
I close my eyes a second then opened, you wasn't there
Sun shining on my face through the blinds
I'm not used to waking up without you lying by my side
And she can catch my eye but I doubt that she'll understand
I'm lost in the sea with these fishes lookin for land
Been a while since I seen a face like yours
Living in the darkness, you open the door
Some how I feel like I been here before
Said the same things like you're having me perform
Your lips are moving but I couldn't hear a word
Elliot Smith, everything reminded me of her
Silly I guess, shoulda known you'd keep up that facade
Tryna find me an oasis, you was only a mirage
I've been looking for an Island, Island
Can you come help me find it, find it
Let you be the pilot
Then you let me go
I've been looking for an Island, Island
Can you come help me find it, find it
Let you be the pilot
Then you let me go
I'll just pretend that I'm in paradise
Without you, without you here
I'll try to find a better way of life
Without you, it's not so clear
Without you, without you (here)
Without you, without you (here)
I've been looking for an Island, Island
Can you come help me find it, find it
Let you be the pilot
Then you let me go
I've been looking for an Island, Island
Can you come help me find it, find it
Let you be the pilot
Then you let me go
I'll just pretend that I'm in paradise
Without you, without you here
I'll try to find a better way of life
Without you, it's not so clear
(I've been looking for)
(I've been looking for an Island, Island)
(Can you come help me find it, find it)
