lyrics

Can you whistle? It's pretty simple
Put your lips together and blow
If you and I were alone then I would show you
Whoa oh oh oh

I still remember how you lit the tinder
When my heart was a hundred below
You’ve got the energy to keep the ember glowing
Whoa oh oh oh oh

If I made a mistake, I would make it again
I wrote the book on heartbreak
You make me want to leap before I look

Can you whisper just a little secret?
Put your lips right next to my ear
Or save it for later so that no one overhears you
Whoa oh oh oh

You tried to say it but you hesitated
And you could not swallow the tears
Hush baby, I'm elated just to be near you
Whoa oh oh oh oh

If I made a mistake, I would make it again
I wrote the book on heartbreak
You make me want to leap before I -

Lookout below, there is a powerful force
And it is drawing us together
You can lock up your heart inside a faraway fortress
But you can't hold out forever

Can you answer just a little question
Did I misinterpret the sign?
I had a feeling it was just a matter of timing
Whoa oh oh oh

I want to see it from a new perspective
But I just crossed over the line
Help baby, I am lost and I need you to find me
Whoa oh oh oh oh

If I made a mistake, I would make it again
I wrote the book on heartbreak
You make me want to leap before I look

Islands

Dawn is a true natural musician - a burning pianist, a beautiful singer, and a really unique songwriter. Islands is totally honest and heartfelt... and I happen to be on it, too! Galen Green
