Sirens

I've been getting wound up on my own
It feels like I've been driving down a dead end road
You used to write me novels on your way home
Now I'm leaving messages on your phone
I miss feeling young with you, wide-eyed and bulletproof
Where did it go

Now we drive in silence,
I blow through a yellow light
Just for a moment, we lose control

I'm speeding on this one-way street
Just to feel the butterflies, I'm pushing 63
And it brings me to life,
Your hands are glued to your seat
Pleading with me to slow us down
But all I hear are sirens, sirens
All I hear are sirens

I still wait for you to pass by my window
And I still see us holding hands in my shadow
Got one foot on the gas pedal, one foot on the brake
You tell me it's safer to stay in my lane
Baby, what happened to the boy who would drive like a renegade

I'm ready to go and drive straight for the coast,
But you act like it's over before it even begins
Now when I drive at night, blow past the warning signs
For a moment, I have control

I'm speeding on this one-way street
Just to feel the butterflies, I'm pushing 63
And it brings me back to life, your hands are glued to your seat
Pleading with me to slow us down
But I've never felt so free
So I push the pedal down, police are chasing me
Like the words I can't get out and somehow I'm 17
Kissing you for the first time again
But all I hear are sirens, sirens
All I hear are sirens
