Sirens (feat. Caroline Polachek) - Flume

Earth went silent London fell asleep She dreamed of winter Where you appeared to me Perfect timing as new petals in november A tender creature A fever Disarming, fluorescent There you were With your mirror Shining the world all over me There I was With my butterfly net Trying to catch your light I collected Stupid ashes So that after you'd gone I could hold onto something But you stayed unwavering Through every false goodbye Unsubsiding, pining For now and for never There you were With your mirror Shining the world all over me There I was With my butterfly net Trying to catch your light Oh, if only The umbrella of the sky Could wrap us up and up That's where I'd zoom in close Dilated as your eyes Until then I'll keep it brief Faithful inertia Her bullet doesn't slow It seeks and finds me How far it goes Heaven help me Take this bag of wings And drown it in the Thames And wake tomorrow Hollow, hardly forgetting There you were There I was With my butterfly net Trying to catch your light

Awake from a dream One that started as a nightmare Like a war so extreme It erased itself from memory Here's where I jumped From the airplane without questioning it The curve of the coast of Los Angeles Spreading itself below And blooming overhead The parachute I've got to trust it now, ohh-oh Change in the wind And I'm drifting from the crescent Pulled farther out From the shore than where I can swim to it And blooming overhead The parachute I've got to trust it now, ohh-oh Closing in on the sparkle of the waves Go on, take me It will feel like going home Go on, take me I'm not afraid to drown What is this Pulling me back the other way To strip malls, highways, and treetops Landing on the soft ground
