Sailor to Siren

This tenderness comes as a surprise
 Drinking where the riverbed was dry
 Trees in the wind trembling with love
 
 Mad morning light drew you out the door
 Mama didn't need you anymore
 She pointed at night, but you saw the stars
 
 Brace yourself and nestle into me
 Bare it all like falling autumn leaves
 You don't even know me that well
 ♪
 Now every blossom's ready to explode
 Rooted in the cracks along the road
 The world is a dream that wiggled free
 Wild, distant water showed me where to run
 Papa let me know I'm not enough
 He took out the life, left me the hole
 ♪
 Are you the sailor or the siren in the tide?
 Trusts a tiny ocean and besides
 You don't even know me that well
 ♪
 Your song is warm and coming through the wall
 Hearts are thrown to strangers after all
 You don't even know me that well
