"Fantasy Island (Flipped)" lyrics - THE SHINS

Long in tooth, olives and vermouth
I dine like an aging pilot
And where are they now, the money and the crowd?
Must I really come back down?

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's like I never was a kid, the big math, it wasted youth on me
Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me

[Chorus:]
But now I want to fall into something else
An origami plane to a distant island
And I don't want to show you my feelings
I don't want to force you to deal
I just want to crash through the ceiling
Before it gets too real

All my life, compromise on wings of resignation
The big grey eye staring from the sky
Am I humble enough now?
I've always had something to hide
My skinny arms, my evil intentions
And back at school, hitting the fire alarms
Desperately wanting attention

[Chorus 2:]
Well I was just a boy, out there on my own
Wishing I could fly, fantasy Island
I don't want to show you my feelings
I don't want to bore you to death
I just want to crash through the ceiling
And get it off my chest

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's like I never was a kid, the big math just wasted youth on me
Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me

[Chorus 3:]
Well I was just a boy, out there on my own
Wishing I could fly, fantasy Island
And I don't want to show you my feelings
I don't want to force you to deal
I just want to crash through the ceiling
Before it gets too real
Too real
