Hear the sirens, hear the sirens Hear the sirens, hear the circus so profound 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 The slightest bit of light And I can see you clear
Have to take your hand, and feel your breath For fear this someday will be over I pull you close, so much to lose Knowing that nothing lasts forever I didn't care, before you were here I danced in laughter with the everafter 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've made, It's not my plan Or 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 Whelmed by the grace 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, true I study your face, and the fear goes away
Oh, it's a fragile thing, this life we lead If I think too much, I can't get over Whelmed by the grace 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, true I study your face, and the fear goes away The fear goes away, the fear goes away The fear goes away
