Lyrics for Tuanaki Atoll

Letting the whole world down How will I be sure this time around What if the sun came 'round? What if I drowned? What if I drowned? And what were you safe from? Did you roll a heartbeat but wrong? I found a new island What do we do if they don't run? And I been alone again Don't try to lose, don't try to win We coming longer than done Up here and around, I can't swim And what were you saved from? Did you roll and shoot the gun? What were you saved from? Should I run or should I turn?
