[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me

[Verse 1]
Both shared a single rope
Trying to stay afloat
The treasure that you blew
When I was tied to you
We reeled each other in
Got caught up in the wind
Our sails, they pulled too hard
And we fell off our raft

[Pre-Chorus]
If our own mistakes are too much to take
If this just won't work and we can't find a way
Maybe our maps go different ways, go different ways

[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me

[Post-Chorus]
Find an island
Find an island

[Verse 2]
Slowly you drifted off
Putting us on the rocks
No longer want to know
Where you make plans to go
I built this boat to last
You chose to move too fast
A storm has swept right through
And washed away of you

[Pre-Chorus]
If our own mistakes are too much to take
If this just won't work and we can't find a way
Maybe our maps go different ways, go different ways

[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me
Find an island far away from me (Hey!)
A shipwreck lost at sea
Where nobody goes, no search party (Hey!)
Nobody knows but me

[Post-Chorus]
Find an island
Find an island

[Pre-Chorus]
And if our own mistakes are too much to take
If this just won't work and we can't find a way
Maybe our maps go different ways, go different ways

[Chorus]
Find an island far away from me (Far away from me)
A shipwreck lost at sea (At sea)
Where nobody goes, no search party (Party)
Nobody knows but me
Find an island far away from me (Away from me)
A shipwreck lost at sea (At sea)
Where nobody goes, no search party (Party)
Nobody knows but me

BENEE

Stella Rose Bennett (born 30 January 2000), known professionally as BENEE (formerly Bene), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who debuted in December 2017 with “Tough Guy.” Music had always been part of her life, with a family history in theatre. BENEE’s first instrument was a saxophone, playing it for several years, along with the guitar.

BENEE started posting music to Soundcloud in her final year of high school (2017), catching the attention of producer Josh Fountain. The pair went on the work together in several of her singles, including break-out single “Soaked” which was featured on triple j’s hottest 100 (2018).

After spending two weeks in a communications course at the Auckland Institute of Technology, Benee realised she wanted to be making music full-time.
