Sirensong Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It could've been her golden hair that turned my head
I didn't look to stare like I was hypnotized, but I was fixed
On how she pointed slowly down and low I sank and still without a sound
The world was far away and I was tricked
[Verse 2]
It could've been her silver skin that drew me on
I didn't mean to spin like I was mesmerised, but I was rapt
Without a name or memory, I waited there
Too scared to even breathe
[Chorus]
(She sang, she sang, she sang, she sang)
"Tell me you love me and beg me to stay"
(She sang) "Tell me you love me before it's too late"
(She sang) "Give me your life or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again"
[Verse 3]
It could've been her crystal eyes that made me stop
I didn't want to sigh like I was stupefied, but I was thrown
At that point of no return, my whole life hanging on a single word
To be hers evermore or mine alone
[Chorus]
(She sang, she sang, she sang, she sang)
"Tell me you love me and beg me to stay"
(She sang) "Tell me you love me before it's too late"
(She sang) "Give me your life or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again"
It could've been her golden hair that turned my head
I didn't look to stare like I was hypnotized, but I was fixed
On how she pointed slowly down and low I sank and still without a sound
The world was far away and I was tricked
[Verse 2]
It could've been her silver skin that drew me on
I didn't mean to spin like I was mesmerised, but I was rapt
Without a name or memory, I waited there
Too scared to even breathe
[Chorus]
(She sang, she sang, she sang, she sang)
"Tell me you love me and beg me to stay"
(She sang) "Tell me you love me before it's too late"
(She sang) "Give me your life or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again"
[Verse 3]
It could've been her crystal eyes that made me stop
I didn't want to sigh like I was stupefied, but I was thrown
At that point of no return, my whole life hanging on a single word
To be hers evermore or mine alone
[Chorus]
(She sang, she sang, she sang, she sang)
"Tell me you love me and beg me to stay"
(She sang) "Tell me you love me before it's too late"
(She sang) "Give me your life or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again"
