Outside the window, a great big world of gray and green
And other hues... And I can't choose
And ropes and chains, I must believe they hold me in
And I can't breath and I can't move

Outside the window
Imagined misery, reality, conformity
And if I try to face it all I'd probably fall
I'd probably crawl right back inside of me

Take me to the island sea
Take me to the island sea
There's a world outside my window pane
But I can't face the thought of rain
So let me keep it inside of me

Inside the window, I imagine I'm a man
And I am free and I am cool and I'm not me
And the needle doesn't hurt, it doesn't kill
It doesn't steal, it doesn't feel and I don't bleed

Inside my window, the desert lands and desert sands
That fall between my desert hands
Can turn to grass and waterfalls and open rooms
And summer blooms and anything

Take me to the island sea
Take me to the island sea
There's a world outside my window pane
But I can't face the thought of rain so
Let me keep it inside of me

Take me to the island sea
Take me to the island sea
There's a world outside my window pane
But I can't stand the thought of rain
I'll try again some other day
But right now let me fall away

Take me to the island sea
Take me to the island sea
Take me to the island sea
Take me to the island sea
Let me keep it inside of me
