Alcatraz

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?
