Sirens
Kari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't think I care
But I promise you
I do
You stretched out your hand
Thinking I'd pull away instead
Saved you that day
You told me you didn't want it
Your life means more to me
Than your broken down
Trailer screen
Because your sirens
Are calling
And they're calling you towards me
Your sirens are screaming
I promise I'm listening
You didn't want my help
But if I didn't intervene
The sirens would've taken you
From me
I kept it secret
I was one who called
I see you're doing better
I'm glad you didn't fall
You were mad
At whoever it was
But I hope you see
Your life was more
Important than silence to me
Because your sirens
Are calling
And they're calling you towards me
Your sirens are screaming
I promise I'm listening
You didn't want my help
But if I didn't intervene
The sirens would've taken you
From me
The moments on your porch
Where we sang about
Better things
We talked about life
And how God
Loves you and me
I didn't see your warnings signs
I woke up to your text
Thank my lucky stars
You weren't heavens next
Because your sirens
Are calling
And they're calling you towards me
Your sirens are screaming
I promise I'm listening
You didn't want my help
But if I didn't intervene
The sirens would've taken you from me
