Here's what I got. Question marks indicate help needed...correct as needed

Thanks to Hoosiers, uglybabo, justam, and wiffyjustus for the lyrics again to hoosiers for the excellent punctuation!!! Thank you everyone else for the input, including my wife. She also thinks it should be study instead of studied as it fits better with the overall tense of the song, but i just left it as studied because it sounds more like that.

Hear the sirens…
Hear the sirens…
Hear the sirens… Hear the circus so profound
I hear the sirens… more and more in this here town

Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bed
Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
This light has been my light, and I can see you clear

I could take your hand, and feel your breath
For fear that someday we'll be over
I pull you close, so much to lose
Knowing that nothing lasts forever
I didn't care, before you were here
I danced in laughter with the ever after
But, all things change, let this remain

Hear the sirens… covering distance in the night
The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me next time

Every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
To send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand

It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can get over-
Whelmed by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
I studied your face, the fear goes away

It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can get over-
Whelmed by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
I studied your face, the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away

Replace 'too' with 'truth'.

Does any one else hear....

"The slightest bit of light and I can see you clear"

This is what I have decided on....def what I hear in the original...and he may drop the "you" in the video take...

thoughts??

It's 'truth'.

"The slightest bit alive and I can see you clear"

I think is what he says, no? :corn:

You might have nailed it! I've been struggling with that one line for so long.
I thought maybe "this night has been my light..."

thx

How about this part...here's what I'm hearing.

Let me catch my breath to breathe and reach across the bed
Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
The slightest bit of light and I can see clear

Have to take your hand, and feel your breath for fear
This some day will be over
I pull you close, so much to lose
Knowing that nothing lasts forever
I didn't care, before you were here
I danced in laughter with the ever after
But, all things change, let this remain

Good work with the thread. To be pedantic, for the final outro I think there is an additional AND in there... 'I studied your face, and the fear goes away'

I studied your face and the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away

Hear the sirens…
Hear the sirens…
Hear the sirens… Hear the circus so profound
I hear the sirens… more and more in this here town

I could take your hand, and feel your breath
For fear that someday will be over
I pull you close, so much to lose

Hear the sirens… covering distance in the night
The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me next time

ohh Every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
To send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand oooh

It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can get over-
Whelmed by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, willed you high above true
I studied your face, the fear goes away

The fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away


At least that's what I hear in the video version. I guess we'll all find out soon enough though.

Why would he say 'held you high above true'? It makes no sense.

As for him saying 'held you high above too', that sounds like something a five year old would write.

Still, we'll find our soon enough when the lyrics are published. Maybe they'll be included in the sleeve.

I just assumed it was "Too" but now you guys have me thinking..haha...

fisttothejaw

Are we sure it's not -

"I could take your hand, and feel your breath, OR fear this someday will be over..." (instead of "for")

meaning, I could really dive into this, or I could live in fear and hold you at arms' length...

then the decision is made:

"I pull you close, so much to lose, knowing that nothing lasts forever"

this makes sense to me...

Its "The slightest bit of light and I can see you clear"

The entire first section has very literal lyrics and I don't think this line would be an exception.

And "Have to take your hand, and feel your breath, for fear this someday will be over."
