HER SIREN

(hmmm-aaaah) (ooh-ooh-ooh) I had a compass,

I had a chart

Could read the tide,

could read the stars

But I never heard a voice cut through the dark

like that

Left my hands too weak to hold the wheel,

too weak to steer us back

Your skin throws light

where the water runs deep Your eyes are the kind of dark

that won't let a sailor sleep

I know that song of yours was built to pull me down

But I let go the wheel and let the current spin me

round

They say once you hear it,

you don't come back

Say once you get close,

there's no way out

I already know how this story ends And still I came,

and still I came

So sing to me,

sing me my wreckage

I'll trade every coin for the cold of your arms

I know I'm just another name in your ledger Just one more

heart wrecked on your charm

But if I'm going down,

let it be to your voice

Let that be the only

flag

I raise

My crew's all gone,

they jumped and swam for shore Said I'd lost my mind,

called it a curse Maybe they're right,

maybe it's a spell But I don't want the cure,

I want it worse You don't even know my name,

I can tell

To you I'm just meat,

just something to chase

But even knowing I'm nothing but prey here

I'm still listening, still holding my place

And if one day you look at me And see not a

catch, but someone who stayed Maybe the sea's got room for that

One pirate who loved what she should've run from

Sing it once more,

sing me my wreckage This time I'll go down with my eyes

wide open It was never about

making it out alive It's about giving everything to the one I

chose Even knowing you might forget by morning

The name of the pirate

who drowned for love (hmmm-aaaah)

(down, down, down...)
