sirens
Cher Lloyd/Cher Lloyd Lyrics

I carry the weight of you in my heavy heart
I am burdened by thoughts of you and it is weighing me down emotionally.

And the wind is so icy, I am numb
I am feeling emotionally frozen and disconnected due to the weight of my thoughts.

I carry the weight of you heading back to start
Thoughts of you are causing me to feel stuck and unable to move forward.

With the thousand eyes on me, I stumble on
I am feeling pressure and scrutiny from those around me as I try to keep moving forward.

I am tired, I'm growing older
I am feeling exhausted and worn out by the weight of my emotions.

I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
My emotional strength is diminishing over time as I continue to carry this weight.

Lay down here
The singer is inviting someone to physically lie down beside them.

Beside me in the shallow water
The invitation is to lay down beside the singer in shallow water.

Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
The location where the singer is inviting someone to lay down is illuminated by sunlight.

Beside me in the hallowed water
The water beside the singer holds special or sacred significance.

Beside me where the silver lining stays until
The location where the singer is inviting someone has a positive aspect that will last until something else happens.

The sirens' calling
A danger or temptation is calling to the singer, signaling a need for action or decision-making.

We follow the sun down low 'til we hit the night
The singer and someone else are traveling together and following the sun as it sets.

And you hold me so tightly
The other person is expressing affection and closeness by holding the singer tightly.

It's hard to breathe
The physical closeness is almost too much or overwhelming for the singer, making it challenging to breathe.

I am drowning, and you're stealing every breath
The singer feels like they are being overcome or suffocated by their thoughts and emotions, and the other person's presence is contributing to that feeling.

Take me away and just
The singer wants to be removed from the situation they are in and taken somewhere else.
