benee - Find an Island
[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me
[Verse 1]
Both shared a single rope
Trying to stay afloat
The treasure that you blew
When I was tied to you
We reeled each other in
Got caught up in the wind
Our sails, they pulled too hard
And we fell off our raft
[Pre-Chorus]
If our own mistakes are too much to take
If this just won't work and we can't find a way
Maybe our maps go different ways, go different ways
[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me
[Post-Chorus]
Find an island
Find an island
[Verse 2]
Slowly you drifted off
Putting us on the rocks
No longer want to know
Where you make plans to go
I built this boat to last
You chose to move too fast
A storm has swept right through
And washed away of you
[Pre-Chorus]
If our own mistakes are too much to take
If this just won't work and we can't find a way
Maybe our maps go different ways, go different ways
[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me
[Post-Chorus]
Find an island
Find an island
[Pre-Chorus]
And if our own mistakes are too much to take
If this just won't work and we can't find a way
Maybe our maps go different ways, go different ways
[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Far away from me)
A shipwreck lost at sea (At sea)
Where nobody goes, no search party (Party)
Nobody knows but me
Find an island far away from me (Away from me)
A shipwreck lost at sea (At sea)
Where nobody goes, no search party (Party)
Nobody knows but me
"Find an Island" is a song by New Zealand musician BENEE. It was released as a single on 11 October 2019 as the lead single from Benee's second extended play "Stella & Steve". The song peaked at number 83 on the Australian ARIA Charts, becoming her first charting single in that territory. About the song, BENEE told Coup de Main magazine "The song is about a tiny little argument I had with my guitar player Tia. We had some weird little bicker, and you know when you’re having a petty argument with a friend you don't want to swear at them or put them down or anything, but I was like, 'What would I say?' It'd be like, 'Find an island, go somewhere else'."
