Sirens

There's a weakness at the window
Place my footprints in the dark room
There's lonely voices like a scarecrow
In the hallway like a lost ghost

In the bedroom I see a shadow
From the moon with light from a candle
On a bed frame lies a girl
Her reflection in the mirror

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I'm knocking at your backdoor

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean

I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me

It's a dark night on the West Coast
Then a soft breeze as the sun rose
Then the phone rang like a gunshot
Like a siren on the beach rock

There's a message at the river
A certain package here to deliver
When the day breaks after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I'm knocking at your backdoor

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean

I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me

I can hear you breathe, I'm feeling the shake
And the sound of my heartbeat, can't let go
Do you know, I'm feeling the pain of my first love?
I let it go, can't let go

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean

I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep
I do this from time to time
Where I wanna taste you as you breathe

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean

I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me
