VERSE 1:
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea
Another lonely day, no one here but me oh
More loneliness, than any man could bare
Rescue need before, I fall into despair

VERSE 2:
A year has past since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways, looking for a cause

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO: [over INTRO pattern]
Sending out an S.O.S; Sending out an S.O.S.
Sending out an S.O.S; Sending out an S.O.S.
