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 
This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear 
I could 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 
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 
To send you in the arms of another man 
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand 

It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead,
If I think too much, I can’t get over 
When 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 too 
I studied your face, the fear goes away

It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, 
If I think too much, I can’t get over 
When 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 too 
I studied your face, the fear goes away, 
The fear goes away, the fear goes away
