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
