Biography:
Future Islands is a new wave band based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The band is composed of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals) and Michael Lowry (percussion, since 2020). Future Islands' music style has been tagged as synthpop, but the band has routinely rejected that classification, considering themselves as post-wave,by combining the romanticism of new wave with the power and drive of post-punk.

[Intro]
D F#m
[Verse]
D
He sits low, in a shady grove
Where the trees arc slow, in the shape of 'you know'
F#m
Marble stairwells, waterfalls, egrets' heads and open arms
D
Whistling through his pensive teeth, the scene is set to peak
Bm
Like how the desert meets the reef
G
And steals the heart - of the thief
D
She walks slow, past the reach of home
In a Western World, far from the things she knows
F#m
Hanging gardens, patterned walls, the books of Rilke, orchestras
D
Motioning to the slow refrain, the soul is set to gain
Bm
Or swallow it whole
G
The causal chain - of human loam
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And as seasons go, it's a lot like this
He reasons for a look, then a glance
F#m
To the path, where she passed
From the page of a book, to a perch in the grass
D
And as meetings go, it's a lot like this
Bm
She tiptoes from the path, to the edge of the page
Where she dared - to be asked
G
What's in a name?
What is your name?
[Chorus]
A Bm
And if you let me know
G D
I won't be alone, I won't be alone
A Bm
And if you have the time to talk to
G D
I won't doubt you, doubt in you, doubt in you
A Bm
And if I let you know
G D
I won't be alone, I won't be alone
A Bm
And if you, as if you start to fall
G D
I'll be here to catch you
[Bridge 1]
D
Turning around, he sighs, "will you sit next to me?"
F#m
Motioning forward, she replies, "will you walk next to me?"
D
"I know my lines, and there's
a lot less space and a little bit of time"
Bm G
"I know the play - It's fine"
D
Echoing herself, she says, "will you walk close to me?"
F#m
Holding his smile, he replies, "what more would you ask of me?"
D
"I know my mind, and there's
a lot less space and a little bit of time"
Bm G
"I know the way - It's fine"
[Chorus]
A Bm
And if you let me know
G D
I won't be alone, I won't be alone
A
And if you have the time to talk to
G D
I won't doubt you, doubt in you, doubt in you
A Bm
And if I let you know
G D
I won't be alone, I won't be alone
A Bm
And if you, as if you start to fall
G D
I'll be here to catch you

[Bridge 2]
D F#m
He's wasting time, you gotta take it slow
May never get a chance like this
D
And she knows he's wasting time
Bm
And she loves the way he tries
G
Even though she knows the lines
D F#m
She's taking time, you gotta let things grow
May never have a chance like this
D
And he knows she takes her time
Bm
And he keeps along her side
G
All hopes to keep along her side
[Outro]
D
And as seasons go, it's a lot like this
He reasons for a look, then a glance
F#m
To the path, where she passed
From the page of a book, to a perch in the grass
D
And as meetings go, it's a lot like this
Bm
She tiptoes from the path, to the edge of the page
Where she dared to be asked
G
What's in a name?
