The next line, which builds on that idea, might be my favorite: "I danced in laughter with the ever after."Strictly in terms of the poetry of it, that might be a top 5 Ed Vedder one-liner
I think it is "Have to take your hand..." rather than "I could take your hand"...

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 life has been a light, and I can see clear
Have to take your hand, and feel your breath or fear
It’ll be 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 study your face, and 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 study your face, and the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
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.

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

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
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
Have to take your hand, and feel your breath for fear
This some day will be over
i agree,im listening the same
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I studied your face, the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
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, the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
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'
yep..there is the word and both at videoclip and studio versions
I studied your face and the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

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 The slightest bit alive, and I can see you clear
I could take your hand, and feel your breath
For fear that someday 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

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

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 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"

If I opened it now would you not understand?

That's what I'm hearing too!
I have been listening to this part over and over and over, and I keep coming back to "true"
and is there any chance that it is "i/ive stared at your face, and the fear goes away?"
and I also here....."for to send you in the arms of another man"??

The next line, which builds on that idea, might be my favorite: "I danced in laughter with the ever after."
Strictly in terms of the poetry of it, that might be a top 5 Ed Vedder one-liner.
for the least they could possibly do
Agree !
Thanks

Another habit says its long overdue

I'm so happy with my righteous self
Replace 'too' with 'truth'.

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