Sirens
Tom Odell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tear me down
Tell me I don't need to fear
Tell me now
Tell me somebody's near
Sirens, sirens are all I hear

They keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
Sirens don't come our way

Or we'll be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way

It's raining now
Raining on someone's fears
Raining down
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
But these sirens
These sirens are all I hear

And they keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
These sirens don't come our way

Or we'll be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
When sirens they come our
All run run running away
All run run running away (oh, just)




Oh we'll be all run run running away
When sirens they come our way

Tear me down
Tell me I don't need to fear
Tell me now
Tell me somebody's near
'Cause sirens
Sirens are all I hear

[Verse 2]
They keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
Sirens don't come our way

[Chorus]
Or we'll be
All run run running away
Or we'll be
All run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way

[Verse 3]
It's raining down
It's raining on someone's fears
Raining down, no
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
But these sirens
These sirens are all I hear

[Verse 4]
And they keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
These sirens don't come our way

[Chorus]
Or we'll be
All run run running away
Or we'll be
All run run running away
Or we'll be
All run run running away
When sirens they come our...
All run run running away
All run run running away
Or we'll be
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way

I came from Love 101, I'm so glad to see that a lot of people came from that too. I'm Brazilian and I wish netflix would appreciate more non American tv shows. We need season 2 and I hope Sinan is alive :'(
