lyrics

Feeling like I’m stuck on this island
Running out of time and
Everything’s a little off track
Even when Im lost in an ocean
Still I keep on hoping
Never willI I ever look, will I ever look back

Will all this pressure make a diamond?
God he knows I’m am trying
Didn’t know how I would react
Now look at me I’m shining
Yeah, I put the time in
Never will I ever look
Will I ever look back
Never will I ever look, will I ever look back

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Will all this pressure make a diamond?
God he knows I’m am trying
Now look at me I’m shining
Yeah, I put the time in
I put the time in
All this pressure make a diamond?
God he knows I’m am trying
Now look at me I’m shining
Yeah, I put the time in
I put the time in

Now I feel at home on this island
I left it all behind and
That is just a matter of fact
Never felt so comfortable in my skin
Let it all just sink in
Never will I ever go back, will I ever go back

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
