Hear the sirens, hear the sirens
Hear the sirens, hear the circus all go found
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
Let me catch my breath to breathe
Then reach across the bend

Just to know we're safe
I am a grateful man
This light is pit alive
And I can't see you clear
I could take your hand and feel your breath
For feel that someday this will be over
I pull you close, so much to lose



Knowing that, nothing lasts forever
I didn't care, before you were here
A distant laughter with the ever after
But all things change, let this remain

Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
The sound echoing closer
Will they come for me, next time?

For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
For to send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand

Oh, it's a fragile thing, this life we lead
If I think too much, I can't get over
When by the graves
By which we live our lives
With death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go
I always loved you, held you high above too
