Island - Sherie René Scott, Justin Guarini, Laura Benanti

I though we had just what we needed

A life you could hold in your hand

But now that the waves have receeded

I see it was all a reflection on subwater

I built a house in the sand

Gathered all my hopes and put them inside

So drunk with the view

I forgot to watch out for the tide

Well here comes the tide

Where does it go?

Where does it go?

When it goes away

Where does it go?

I thought I saw it here yesterday

Do you just watch it all disappear?

Almost within reach

But vanishing away

You can find so much

You can lose so much in a day

In a single day

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

(Where did it go?)

What do you do?

When do you know?

When it can’t be saved?

Where did it go?

I wish you’d tell me

Cause I forget

(where did it go?)

Up in the clouds?

Up with the smoke from your cigarrette?

Where did it go?

Where did you go?
