When the Sirens Call

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Female] I found your note inside my locker Three red hearts and a crooked star You said the halls feel less forgotten Whenever you know where I am [Verse 2: Male] I used to hide behind the bleachers Counting cracks beneath my shoes Then you walked in, brave as thunder And gave me something real to lose [Pre-Chorus: Both] If the whole world turns strange tonight I’ll still know your hand in mine [Chorus: Both] You’re the one I choose when the sirens call The one I chase through the empty hall If the night breaks open, if the old rules fall I’ll stand beside you through it all You’re my heartbeat under every spell My safe place when the secrets swell Let them say we’re crazy, let them ring the bell I found my life when I found you as well [Post-Chorus: Both] Oh-oh, no turning back Oh-oh, we’ve got each other’s back [Verse 3: Female] Your jacket smells like rain and cedar Your flashlight barely makes a beam Still you grin like we can fix it Every impossible, wild thing [Verse 4: Male] You keep a map beneath your pillow With every hidden doorway marked I keep your picture in my pocket For when the brave part gets too hard [Pre-Chorus: Both] If the whole world turns strange tonight I’ll still know your hand in mine [Chorus: Both] You’re the one I choose when the sirens call The one I chase through the empty hall If the night breaks open, if the old rules fall I’ll stand beside you through it all You’re my heartbeat under every spell My safe place when the secrets swell Let them say we’re crazy, let them ring the bell I found my life when I found you as well [Bridge: Female] Maybe we’re too young for forever Maybe tomorrow changes names [Bridge: Male] But tonight is ours together And I wouldn’t trade a thing [Bridge: Both] No prophecy can write us apart No locked door can quiet this heart [Final Chorus: Both] You’re the one I choose when the sirens call The one I chase through the empty hall If the night breaks open, if the old rules fall I’ll stand beside you through it all You’re my heartbeat under every spell My safe place when the secrets swell Let them say we’re crazy, let them ring the bell I found my life when I found you as well [Outro: Both] Oh-oh, no turning back Oh-oh, we’ve got each other’s back You’re the one I choose You’re the one I choose
