Lyrics
Sea Of Sirens
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
