Once
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.
Part of me
Has Died
And won't return
And part of me
Wants to hide
The part that's burned
Once, once
Knew how to talk to you
Once, once
But not anymore
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Part of me
Has vied
To watch it burn
And the heart of me
Has tried
But look what it's become
Once, once
I knew how to look for you
Once, once
But that was before
Once, once
I would have laid down to died for you
Once, once
But not anymore.
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home.
