Pearl Jam - Sirens lyrics

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 bed
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 it's 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
