Lyrics:
A grain of sand tumbled and reunited with the beach front/
as the dune trembled, in the warm light of the peach sun/
sand cascaded, revealing the shape of someone/
who just surfaced to the island, emerging as if he’s summoned/
he pushed himself up slowly and tried to cull his bearings/
in front of jungle foliage, his mind chock-full of theories/
he seemed disoriented, tripped while watching seagulls skirt swells/
and every palm tree bent over him, like some deeply concerned pals/
he recovered and explored the sandbanks, of that quaint island/
trying to ignore the waves that chimed in with their vague tidings/
the horizon extinguished the sun, and he curled up to sleep/
rising at the break of dawn to awkwardly lurch to his feet/
and found a bottle that washed on the beach, rubbed his eyes to see it twice/
another island, materializing on the teal tides/
and soon enough he realized it was moving/
and the oncoming shore held a silhouette that looked human/

Where the water spray breeze always follows you/
you can hear faint siren songs keep on calling you/
I think the fantasy must’ve dropped a couple keys/
off the coast of every dream that we’re falling through/

He bundled up some dry driftwood and tried to start a fire/
to no avail, no advice ‘cept the wind’s input/
but he still held his chin up to spy a roaring fire/
on the other island’s coast where warmth withstood/
he wondered if his island was the one moving and not the other way around, in a silence that he found soothing/
he was lucid but he pinched himself just in case/
when he saw her in the second coastal shelf’s turquoise waves/
she was smiling at him from the sand bar opposite/
and as the islands almost hit, the thought to jump across was.. obvious/
but the waters looked as if their endless waves would swallow him/
so all he did was.. hesitate/
he had replayed the moment in his head a thousand times/
as the days all came and went, he staggered drunk around the isle/
he pushed himself up from the sand to see it glinting/
a second island faintly moving in the distance/
