  • 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

    Oh, had 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 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

    Oh, it's a fragile thing, this life we lead
    If I think too much, I can 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 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 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 too
    I studied your face, the fear goes away
    The fear goes away, the fear goes away
    The fear goes away Writer/s: Eddie Jerome Vedder, Michael David McCready
