The screen is glowing in the dark
Leaving a shadow on the floor
I'm tracing every single spark
Of what we used to be before

You left your jacket on the chair
A ghost of who you used to be
I breathe the cold October air
And hope that you remember me

We built a house upon the sand
And watched the tide just take it all

And I'm still waiting by the phone
In this empty quiet room
Yeah, we are drifting all alone
Like two islands in the gloom
Don't let me fade away so soon

I tried to hold your hand
But you were miles away
We are just words we couldn't say

And I'm still waiting by the phone
In this empty quiet room
Yeah, we are drifting all alone
Like two islands in the gloom
Don't let me fade away so soon

Two islands in the dark
