Lyrics
[verse]
Stranded on an island made of my own doubt
Sending out a signal, hoping someone hears me shout
Years of talking to the empty air
Wondering if anybody's really there
[verse]
I fold my hope into a page and set it free
Push it out beyond the edges of the sea
Maybe someone drifting on the same lost tide
Will find the words I couldn't say inside
[chorus]
Sending out this message, drifting on the foam
Hoping it will find its way to someone else's home
A hundred million bottles washing up on shore
Means I'm not alone here anymore
[verse]
Every wave that carries it away from me
Feels a little like a piece of company
Maybe far off on another distant shore
Someone's writing letters just like before
[chorus]
Sending out this message, drifting on the foam
Hoping it will find its way to someone else's home
A hundred million bottles washing up on shore
Means I'm not alone here anymore
[bridge]
So many islands in this endless sea
So many hearts that feel like me
Sending out, sending out, sending out again
Till the silence finally ends
[chorus]
Sending out this message, drifting on the foam
Hoping it will find its way to someone else's home
A hundred million bottles washing up on shore
Means I'm not alone here anymore
