Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton - Siren Lyrics

From the grandstand to the island
To the mainland white sand beach
I only want what I can't reach

From the songbird to the siren
To the famous melody
I only want what I can't see
A songbird someday will find me

It's a wonder I remember
What you wrote, the way you wore your clothes
Then the moment was beyond us
And you knew I would go

From the one hand to the other hand
Reasons to be made
I only wanted to escape

From the bedroom to the ballroom
To the basements I've outgrown
I only wanted to be known
I only wanted to be known

It's a wonder
(It's a wonder)
I remember
(I remember)
What you wrote, the way you wore your clothes
(The way you wore your clothes)
Then the moment
(Then the moment)
Was upon us
(Was upon us)
In the spotlight I just froze
And you knew I would go

From the hotel to the motel
To the tent pitched in a field
I only wanted to be healed

From the hideout in the treehouse
To the shelter underground
I only wanted to be found
I only wanted to be found

It's a wonder
(It's a wonder)
I remember
(I remember)
What you wrote, the way you wore your clothes
(The way you wore your clothes)
Then the moment
(Then the moment)
Was upon us
(Was upon us)
In the spotlight I just froze
(Just froze)
It's a wonder
(It's a wonder)
I remember
(I remember)
What you wrote, the way you wore your clothes
(The way you wore your clothes)
Then the moment was beyond us
(Was beyond us)
Then you knew
(Then you knew)
I would go
(I would go)
I would go

From the grandstand to the island
To mainland white sand beach
I only want what I can't reach

From the songbird to the siren
To the famous melody
I only want what I can't see
A songbird someday will find me
