[Verse 1] Salt on the wooden floor Bare feet by the screen door Mama’s pot still on the flame And the rain knew my name [Verse 2] Ferry horns in the distance Mangroves swaying slow and patient We laughed with mango juice stains Felt rich in the pouring rain [Pre-Chorus] Take me back Take me back To the place where my heart got free (Free) [Chorus] Island state of mind (Oh, island state) Island state of mind (Yeah, we still sway) Tide wash over me And I’m right where I’m meant to be Island state of mind (So sweet, so kind) [Verse 3] Grandma’s robe on the line Blue sky wearing gold light We’d chase the day to the reef Then come home with salt on our sleeves [Verse 4] Now the road gets loud sometimes But I hear that shoreline rhyme In a cracked shell by my bed In the songs we never said [Pre-Chorus] Take me back Take me back To the place where my heart got free (Free) [Chorus] Island state of mind (Oh, island state) Island state of mind (Yeah, we still sway) Tide wash over me And I’m right where I’m meant to be Island state of mind (So sweet, so kind) [Bridge] One voice says stay One voice says roam But both of us know The water calls us home (Home) [Final Chorus] Island state of mind (Oh, island state) Island state of mind (Yeah, we still sway) Tide wash over me And I’m right where I’m meant to be Island state of mind (So sweet, so kind) Island state of mind (Oh, island state)
