Lovers The Sirens Sing Lyrics

my teachers told me, "try and organize your thoughts. the way your mind wanders, girl, you're sure to get lost." and the doctors agreed and gave me pills that i could take until i'd be old enough to self-medicate. well fast-forward ten years and now i'm drunk here, out on the fire escape, with the moon, dear don't it look pretty great? it always leaves, but comes back to me. and lately i've been counting things i can count on to come back to me. so i'm just hanging around, trying to pass the time, cause i hear it heals all wounds and eventually decides for me. i'll just sit here and watch my choices tick away, and maybe find someone to distract me while i wait. so i guess i'm ok, but when i hear the sirens sing, i wish they were singing for me. i've made mistakes but help is coming, i called otu late and someone was listening. but with your hand on my pulse you claim i'm ill-advised. you say, "look at me now, don't shut those dyslexic eyes, so your heart's a slow learner and those drugs are its disguise? well, it's a clear costume, you might as well not try to hide. at least our heart's trying. and the strange thing about this life is that no one fits in quite right. does your heart beat seem like a lie, the way it just don't feel right inside? well, so does mine, all right? so does mine. don't come back to me like a memory. stay here with me, like a family."
