Song Lyrics

Shipwrecked and on a deserted island
Alone as he could be
Looking for a ship out on the horizon
Looking for signs of life out on the sea
One day a bottle washed up on the beach
And he thought his rescue was finally within reach

There was no message in the bottle
There was no message there at all
Just the emptiness to stare back at him
Another brick for his wall
A wall to keep his life together
While he was slowly losing control
There was no message in the bottle
No message there at all

Homewrecked and in a deserted marriage
Not knowing what to do
Needing to unload life's extra baggage
Needing to feel he's loved and love someone too
One day a bottle made it feel all right
Till he started sinking just holding on for life

There was no message in the bottle
There was no message there at all
Just the emptiness to stare back at him
Another brick for his wall
A wall to keep his life together
While he was slowly losing control
There was no message in the bottle
No message there at all

How do we go from the children we start out to be
To become the lost souls on our own island staring out to sea

There was no message in the bottle
There was no message there at all
Just the emptiness to stare back at him
Another brick for his wall
A wall to keep his life together
While he was slowly losing control
There was no message in the bottle
No message there at all
