The Shins — Fantasy Island Flipped

[Verse 1] Long in tooth, olives and vermouth I dine like an aging pilot And where are they now, the money and the crowd? Must I really come back down? [Pre-Chorus] It's like I never was a kid, the big math, it wasted youth on me Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me [Chorus] But now I want to fall into something else An origami plane to a distant island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to force you to deal I just want to crash through the ceiling Before it gets too real [Verse 2] All my life, compromise on wings of resignation The big grey eye staring from the sky Am I humble enough now? I've always had something to hide My skinny arms, my evil intentions And back at school, hitting the fire alarms Desperately wanting attention [Chorus 2] Well I was just a boy, out there on my own Wishing I could fly, fantasy Island I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to bore you to death I just want to crash through the ceiling And get it off my chest [Pre-Chorus] It's like I never was a kid, the big math just wasted youth on me Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me [Chorus 3] Well I was just a boy, out there on my own Wishing I could fly, fantasy Island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to force you to deal I just want to crash through the ceiling Before it gets too real Too real
