(wait down put it right in front of me) We wait... (wait down put it right in front of me) ’Cause when pressure heightens Our coal makes diamonds And so we wait... (wait down in front of me) We wait... (wait down wait down) [Interlude] Whoa... (2x)        Whoa... (2x)   (repeat) [Verse 2] The flood comes shifting the soil Our blood runs thicker than oil It’s like erosion cutting straight to the core No human nature ever felt this before And we become an unbreakable vow I wanna hold you up higher than most Because it feels like flying out [Chorus] We are islands Hear our sirens And so we wait... (wait down put it right in front of me) We wait... (wait down put it right in front of me) ’Cause when pressure heightens Our coal makes diamonds And so we wait... (wait down in front of me) We wait... (wait down wait down) (Wait down in front of me) [Interlude] Whoa... (2x)        Whoa... (2x)   (repeat) [Chorus] We are islands Hear our sirens And so we wait... (wait down put it right in front of me) We wait... (wait down put it right in front of me) ’Cause when pressure heightens Our coal makes diamonds And so we wait... (wait down in front of me) We wait... (wait down wait down) [Outro] Whoa... (Wait down in front of me)(2x) Whoa... (Wait down) (2x)
