The Swell Season
"Once"

Part of me had died
Won't return
And part of me wants to hide
The part that's purr (pure?)...

Once, Once
I knew how to talk to you
Once, Once
But not any more

Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home

Part of me has died
To watch it burn
And the heart of me has tried
Look what it's become

Once, Once
I knew how to look for you
Once, Once
But that was before
Once, Once
I would have laid down and died for you
Once, Once
But not any more

Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
