"Siren" lyrics

"Siren"

It's only love that knows my name
And love's the only thing that matters
Only you and you alone
Can mend the mirror when it shatters

On a silver line you reel me in
I hold back for now, but I won't win

It's only love that stops my breath
And makes me sigh and stare in wonder
Only you and you alone
Can sing the spell that I fall under

There's honey in the trap - how sweet it is
Like the sirens say - O don't resist

There's places I should be - a hundred miles from here
A day becomes a week, a week a year

It's only love that keeps me here
And love's the only thing that matters
