Lyrics
Oh, when we were born, when we first arrived
We took it all in through innocent eyes
But we got jaded 'cause the beauty faded
So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky
But we keep coming up dry

I'm waking up to what's around me
I've lost too much to a fantasy
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
Just getting by
Am I just getting by

Life can take a toll, everyday demands
So much energy, so many mundane plans
So we go digital, purely physical
Hey, it's just medicinal
We need to ease our minds

I want to be all here now
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
Staying present even in the fear now
Life with open eyes
Please don't pass me by
Life, don't pass me by
Life, don't pass me by
Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye

I don't want to just get by

[samgibb]

This song is so me right now. Lord, please break my hold on the fantasy worlds I live in. No matter how daunting reality seems, Father hold my hand and let me see your beauty. Please remind me that the only way out of my circumstances is through and Lord you are right there with me so I can do all things with you. Thank you
*2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;*

[IsraelDefeo]

"Life can take a toll, everyday demands
So much energy, so many mundane plans
So we go digital, purely physical
Hey, it's just medicinal
We need to ease our minds"

This is my new favorite song and came just when my boyfriend and I have been discussing and processing the concepts in this song. It was like the song was the perfect summation of what we're learning and how we're wanting to live our lives! <3

[TheMusicvideoVEVO]

this song is almost 2 years old and has less than a million views, how sad...

[leahbranford]

I can totally relate...this is me so much of the time...
(love the "ooh" parts!)

[NarniaAravis]

Yeah, it really sounds like a mixture of Owl City & Switchfoot and TAN. Love it! ♥

I want to be all here now
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
Staying present even in the fear now
Life with open eyes
Please don't pass me by
Life, don't pass me by
Life, don't pass me by
Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye ♥

I've lost too much to a fantasy...

[NarniaAravis]

Plus I love that everyone can relate to these lyrics. There's such a great meaning behind this song, it's about how we live our lives. And I think that totally everyone can relate to it, not just Christians. I wish I could hear this song on a radio.

[ptlakebakes]

Love their music! Cant wait to see them and Matt Maher live on Saturday!!!!

[burdenedwithgloriouspurpos]

Life with open eyesPlease don't pass me byLife, don't pass me byLife, don't pass me by This really spoke to me that I need to make the most of my time on earth and live each day for God.

[kaitlyngetz]

Is there an Islands tour coming soon????:) I sure hope so!

[ChristineVelvet]

They are amazing. Jeff's "oohs" are brilliant as well as Mike's voice. And the rest of the band! They have never done a bad song.

[natalias]

There's a lot of Jeff's "oohs" in these EP's, lol. Oustanding song, guys!

[hiccup]

Everytime I hear this I think of just seeing you guys live and how the lyrics to this song just rocked my world.

[gabrielluigi]

I've run out of words to describe this band and their songs... this EP is awesome, can't wait for the full lenght album. 

[teecrudup]

Love it. Love the album, even though the whole thing isn't even out yet. Haha

[jbcrash]
