Lyrics for Sirens as interpreted by afitch1206

Sirens Lyrics
There's a weakness, in a 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

Yadada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I'm knocking at your back door
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 (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
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 walk
There's a message, at the river
A certain package here to the deliver
When the day breaks, after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will

Yadada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I'm knocking at your back door
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 (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me
(from time to time)

I 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 (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to taste you as you bleed (from time to time)

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me
(from time to time)

I love this song, I can't wait until i-empire comes out. Does anyone know if Angels and Airwaves will release a song as a single cause they never really did that with We Don't Need to Whisper. I was also wondering if they'll be guests on trl or something like that because +44 was, and i think more people know about Angels and Airwaves than them.

i think the first part of the song isnt right...when i listen to the song i hear : "There's a weakness, AT THE window
Place my footprints, in the dark room
There's loney voices, like a scarecrow
In the hallway, like a lost ghost
In the backroom, I see a shadow
From the moon with light from a candle
On a bedframe, lies a girl
Her reflection, in the mirror."

i know its not a big change but it bugs me lol :)

anyways,i think this song is about,after a war,theres a guy,and hes walking around checking out the damage and all,and he sees a girl,in an abandoned house. and eventually they fall in love

anyone who says ava or +44 is some pussy shit are clearly no fan of blink, i mean if you like blink you should love everything those 3 guys do music wise right? thats what i think anyways. as for ava, well, i think it should change the world even though it probly wont since NOTHINg sounds like it at all, same for +44, you cant say, oh they sound alot like ____. they might sound like abuncha things combined, but i mean, +44 is faster and speedier guitars and what not, but i think that ava's lyrics flow incredibly well. in the end i lovem both.

This song is so beautiful. I think it's about a love that could have been. A boy cannot get over his first love no matter how bad she was.

uh blink44ava.. they've already made a videoo for everything's magic.. & they did release songs off their album... the adventure and do it for me now both had videos..a nd the war might have too.

but ya.. i can't say i lovvve this song, but i hope it grows on me.. WDNTW is by far one of my favorite cds ever and i hope i-empire is just as good.. but this, secret crowds, and lifeline seems omewhat disapointing.. but hopefully they all grow on my like songs usually do & the other songs are even better. ha

I'm pretty sure it's "I like your eyes wide" and "Nervous like a knife fight".

i think it's "i can hear you breathe..." at that one part instead of "i hear you leave"
anyways that part of the song is by far the most meaninful and beautiful thing i've ever heard by tom


i think the song is definately about ...well...like it says, recovering, or trying to, from your first love which didnt work out

This song is about a murderer!

From Geffen record's website: "An additional highlight from I-Empire is the straight-shooting "Sirens," of which DeLonge notes was loosely based around the folklore of mermaids calling ships to their destruction with their songs. "It's such a beautiful idea," he says. "So I wrote this song about a murderer, and the murderer is breaking into a house to take out a woman that he's obsessed with. But the idea was more about how the song is beautifully romantic, but it's an upbeat song. It sounds like an old Police song, which I think is the best way to describe it."

I heard

It's a dark night, on the West Coast
Then a soft breeze, as the sun rose
Then the thundering, like a gunshot
Like a siren, on the beach walk

In Homer's "The Odyssey" the sirens are voices that call out to a ship's captain in a really treacherous set of waters and make him fall in love and get distracted from captaining the ship because he's in a love trance, and a he crashes his ships into the rocks where his crew drowns and gets eaten by a sea monster.

All of those listed above are acoustic Except for It Hurts, which is live and is REALLY loud.

Wow the bass line is pretty much the exact same as Man Overboard from Blink. They just rearranged the notes in the middle. Thats pretty low Tom.

He took the anthem pt 2 intro lick too and put it on every thing's magic, if anyone noticed.
