Sea Of Sirens

Behind the counter at a midnight diner

I caught my first sight of you

Working calm just to finish the hour

With nothing left to do

The sea of sirens that you made your way through

Coquettish, a self-seen God

But you were different in the way that you moved

No pretense, no bleak facade

But do you call?

I’ve been holding out for you

And do you call?

I’ve been holding out for you

Said: I won’t be there for years

Hold me tight till you find what’s right

No, I won’t be there for years

Hold me tight till the dawning light

When I woke, I had lost what I loved

Now 4 years have passed and I still can’t get back

So, I check my chest just to see what she robbed

On still nights like these, I’ll replace her in song

Just like the old picture shows

When the lights start to dim down so low

And the taste of the things you want most

Starts to fill up your entire soul

But do you call?

I’ve been holding out for you

And do you call?

I’ve been holding out for you

Said: I won’t be there for years

Hold me tight till you find what’s right

No, I won’t be there for years

Hold me tight till the dawning light

She won’t be there

And all this waiting's been awful

Ah, she won’t be there

And all this pining is wasteful

Here year after year

Am I losing all I know?

Cause she won’t be there

And I stare down the unknown

But do you call?

I’ve been holding out for you

And do you call?

I’ve been holding out for you

But do you call?

(Just like the old picture shows)

I’ve been holding out for you

(When the lights start to dim down so low)

And do you call?

(And the taste of the things you want most)

I’ve been holding out for you

(Starts to fill up your entire soul)

Said: I won’t be there for years

Hold me tight till you find what’s right

No, I won’t be there for years

Hold me tight till the dawning light
