Syren 🌹

Verse 1

I left the window open

Just enough to hear the rain

Your sweater on the sofa

Still remembers your shape

I keep the hallway light on

Though nobody's coming home

Funny how an empty room

Can make you feel less alone

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know what I'm waiting for

But I keep waiting anyway

There's a little piece of yesterday

I haven't thrown away

Chorus

Call me Syren, if you need me

I'll be somewhere in the blue

Floating through the quiet evening

Trying not to think of you

Call me Syren, when it's midnight

When the whole world disappears

I'll be somewhere between the silence

And the things I couldn't say out loud

Verse 2

I wrote your name on paper

Then I folded it four times

Put it underneath the coffee cup

Like I could keep it mine

The neighbors started talking

The summer started changing

I swear I saw your shadow

But it was only branches swaying

Pre-Chorus

And maybe I'm romanticizing

Everything we used to be

But some things don't stop haunting you

Just because you let them leave

Chorus

Call me Syren, if you need me

I'll be somewhere in the blue

Floating through the quiet evening

Trying not to think of you

Call me Syren, when it's midnight

When the whole world disappears

I'll be somewhere between the silence

And the things I couldn't say out loud

Bridge

Maybe I'm a little too good

At disappearing in plain sight

Maybe that's why you remember me

Only when you can't sleep at night

And if you hear me in the distance

Don't go looking for the sound

Some things are better left as echoes

When there's nobody around

Final Chorus

Call me Syren, if you need me

But don't promise you'll stay

I've been learning how to lose things

Without giving them a name

Call me Syren, when it's midnight

When you're staring at the ceiling

I'll be somewhere in the quiet

Finally learning what I'm feeling

Outro

Syren in the window

Syren in the rain

A little bit of yesterday

I couldn't wash away.
