Sirens
►Angels and Airwaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a weakness in the window
Place my footprints in the dark room
There's lonely voices like a scarecrow
In the hallway like a lost ghost
In the bedroom I see a shadow
From the moon with light from a candle
On a bed-frame lies a girl
Her reflection in the mirror

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I've been knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me

It's a dark night on the West Coast
Then a soft breeze as the sun rose
Then the phone rang like a gunshot
Like a siren on the beach rock
There's a message at the river
A certain package here to the deliver
When the day breaks after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I've been knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me

I can hear you breathe
I'm feeling the shake and the sound of my heartbeat
Can't let go
Do you know
I'm feeling the pain of my first love?
I won't let it go
Can't let go

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I want to taste you as you breathe (from time to time)

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)




I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time)

LYRICS
Intro: John Fannon & Travis Scott]
Every night, I look up in the sky
And the stars are all there
But when I look for you, you're never there
Explorer, are you out there? There, there, there
We had to spread out the word (Mm)

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
I was too damn determined, back when we needed refurbish
I was on top with no service, watch as they all playin' verses
They in the bushes, they lurkin', might gotta call the insurgents
She wanna fuck with a purpose, I gotta juggle my urges
Gotta couple departments, closet built like a department
Double up cup of the Bourbon how I give all of my sermons
Yeah, we still (Still) do things down to detail
Diva and the Devil, both them bad as He-ell
They get quiet when he yell (He yell)
Can't silent my people
You locked in the prequel, meet me at the festie-viel ('Viel)
Festie-vial ('Vial)
Foo, foo

[Verse 2: Travis Scott]
Now I got your attention (Look out), it's wide and beatin' (Look out)
Vile this evenin' (Look out), you never leavin' (Look-look-look-look-look-look—)
Clock out, we sneak in (Look-look-look-look-look—)
All the demons need a reason (O-o-o-out)
Up from 2 A.M. to two in the afternoon (Look out)
It's a festival right in my room (Look out)
Soon as the sun up, you know that we doom (Look out)
Mariposa, we out to Cancún (Look out)
We gon' hustle more just before we out the room (Look out)
Back outside, it ain't no time for Zoom's (Look out)
One point two, that's a whole lot of more "Vroom" (Look out)
Three point two, that's a whole lot of whole lotta (Look out)
It's live, remember days that I couldn't get by
There outside, they come with it inside
Now your venue, we gotta resize
I can't give all this credit to Colgate
By the way I be rentin' the smile (Look out, look out)
I know sometimes I be in denial (Look out, look out)
I know sometimes I be in the wild (Look out, look out)
How I rockin' the, rockin' the—
Ah

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Drake]
I thought we were going to utopia?
What makes you say this isn't utopia?
I mean, I don't know, isn't it supposed to be some perfect destination? This is just your hotel room
Yeah, it looks perfect to me
