Sirens
Stan Van Samang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you walk away
You're like the sea
Yeah you're haunting me
And I drown in every word you say
But you pick me up babe I can't deny
You're my sweetest drug
You're my sweetest high
Why do I keep on falling?
I don't want tomorrow
I just need today to be with you
Baby you're my siren
Calling on my heart then
Pushing me away to wreck my dreams
Like sirens do...
My siren's you
I'm such a fool I'm the slave you rule
Every time you beckon me
You're my mistake
But my heart would break
If I ever tried to set me free
Cause I breathe you in babe
I can't deny you're all I need
You're my kryptonite
Now I spiral down
Yeah I've hit the ground
You're why I keep on falling
(Falling)
I don't want tomorrow
I just need today to be with you
Baby you're my siren
Calling on my heart then
Pushing me away to wreck my dreams
Like sirens do (yeah)
Like sirens do
Like sirens do (yeah)...
My siren's you
I'm like a cat that comes crawling back
Every time you walk away
I don't want tomorrow
I just need today to be with you
Baby you're my siren
Calling on my heart then
Pushing me away to wreck me dreams
Like sirens do (yeah)
My siren's you
