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.

[Verse 1]
Bb
The sea was large today
Dm
Just as any other day
Bb
But something broke in me
Dm
Watching on this winter’s eve
[Verse 2]
Bb
Like a voice,
F
that I’d been trying to hide
Bb
Pulled me close
F
And out into the undertow
[Bridge]
Gm
I can’t beat it
F
Oh! The sirens sing me home
Gm
Just can’t release it
F
I didn’t have the strength to go
[Verse 1]
Bb
She’s a garden rose
Dm
and blossoms head to toe
Bb
And even when she leaves
Dm
her golden shadow stings
[Bridge]
Gm
I can’t beat it
F
Every time she goes,
Gm
cuts me even deeper
F
If only I’d the strength to go
Like she does
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
But she’s got time on her side
Dm F
And she’s free to decide
Eb Bb
Because she’s got time on her side
Dm F
To be young is divine
[Verse 2]
Bb
And scaling the dunes to sea
F
Where the white wall feeds
Bb
Gets me no closer to peace
F
From the grips that she holds on me
[Bridge]
Gm
Oh! I can’t beat it
F
Every time she goes
Gm
Cuts a lil deeper
F
So the wound will never close
[Bridge]
Gm
If only I could beat it
F
She wouldn’t look away for woe
Gm
But it finds me when I’m sleeping
F
And wakes me in a fevered low
Like she does
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
But she’s got time on her side
Dm F
And she’s free to decide
Eb Bb
Because she’s got time on her side
Dm F
She’s so free, it’s sublime
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I just wonder if I’m on her mind
Dm F
As she’s on mine, all the time
Eb Bb
And I want her to know that I’m on her side
Dm F
I’m on her side
[Outro]
Bb
The sea was large today
Dm Bb
Just as any other day
