Alcatraz - Carbon Leaf

Hello its been awhile

You know I wished you well

I wrote a song for you

So break the chains and damn the cell

You wrote love, love is everywhere

In the notebook you gave me

You made a list of joys for me and you put your name first

How?

How?

How is no man is an island?

Well with California sliding off the chart

Pack your suitcase up and make a brand new start

California sliding off the map

Hurry now, can you make it home, can you make it back?

If nothing’s built to last, why don’t you, just put me out on Alcatraz?

I’ve been accused a time or two

Of having sentimental attributes Of hanging on too long

When nostalgia is a vice that captures a warm place in time

And like a cool fog rolling in, clouding up the heart and minds

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh well no man’s an island

Well with California sliding off the chart

Pack your suitcase up and make a brand new start

California sliding off the map

Hurry now, can you make it home, can you make it back?

If nothing’s built to last, why don’t you, just put me out on Alcatraz?

And every tear in your past, the reservoir you blink away

Washing down all the hilly streets, out into the bay

No man is an island, but each one does his time

To see if he can tough it out, in a prison of the mind

And like a note to a lover

Through the blue lines you can see

A chance to stay a prisoner, or an easy way to break yourself free!

Break yourself free!

Whoa California sliding off the chart

Pack your suitcase baby open up your heart

California sliding off the map

Hurry now, can you make it home, can you make it back?

If nothing’s built to last, and why don’t you, just put me out on Alcatraz?
