Siren On The 101 Lyrics
Up and away to stay
Awhile in the arms of fate
Where did we start this crush?
The question could stop my heart.
Sun on your skin
All smiles
A star at your side
You fly
Hands on the wheel, held tight
Don’t you let go, just give it time
Tell me all you hear is our song,
Like a siren on the 101
Did you come to say so long?
I was sure we had just begun
Tell me all you hear is our song.
I know I can't be the only one.
But you and me we are a breakthrough.
Just forget the rearview
Don’t ever let me go.
Was it a test?
This crime a footnote in your meantime?
A shot in the dark when I was certain we had come so far?
But I've got a light to blind a vision of doubt
Tonight the song on my lips will fly
And follow you home wherever you go
Tell me all you hear is our song,
Like a siren on the 101
Did you come to say so long?
I was sure we had just begun
Tell me all you hear is our song.
I know I can't be the only one.
But you and me we are a breakthrough.
Just forget the rearview
Don’t ever let me go.
Where'd you go? What'd you want to know?
What did you come all this way for?
Where'd you go? What'd you want to know?
What is the luster worth so much more?
Where'd you go? What'd you want to know?
I wonder if my heart can tie up the score
Where'd you go? What'd you want to know? [x2]
All I hear is our song,
I don't care 'bout the damage done
So turn it up and sing sing along,
I still feel like we've just begun
All I hear is our song,
I know I can't be the only one
But you and me we are a breakthrough,
Just forget the rearview
Don’t ever let me go.
Tell me all you hear is our song,
Like a siren on the 101
Did you come to say so long?
I was sure we had just begun
Tell me all you hear is our song.
I know I can't be the only one.
But you and me we are a breakthrough.
Just forget the rearview
Don’t ever let me go.
Let me go [x2]
Awhile in the arms of fate
Where did we start this crush?
The question could stop my heart.
All smiles
A star at your side
You fly
Hands on the wheel, held tight
Don’t you let go, just give it time
Like a siren on the 101
Did you come to say so long?
I was sure we had just begun
Tell me all you hear is our song.
I know I can't be the only one.
But you and me we are a breakthrough.

Awesome, I love this song
I love this song. Its awesome.
not sure what this songs about really, just know the 101 is the road in california...
maybe them getting famous and people hearing their songs and coming to see them? o.0 the 101 goes all the way through cali so... eh idk.
okay, welllll first of all, i love this song. :)
secondly, i'm not sure if this is forsure what it means, but this is what it means to me-
Up and away to stay Awhile in the arms of fate Where did we start this crush? The question could stop my heart.
[it seems like they've had "something" forever and he really just cannot remember what it was like before; he thought it would last forever, but the way things are now, he's forced to remember what it's like without her]
Sun on your skin All smiles A star at your side You fly
[everything's good between them for awhile, like, the "sun" is the goodness, but then a star comes along, and it's better? so she 'flies' away?]
Hands on the wheel, held tight Don’t you let go, just give it time
[he doesn't want her to let go of this relationship]
Tell me all you hear is our song, Like a siren on the 101
[well, the 101 is a road in cali, and i'm thinking whenever you hear a siren on that road, it's pretty loud? and pretty common, or somethinggg? i donno. but basically. their song just keeps showing up, and it's sad.]
Did you come to say so long? I was sure we had just begun
[self explanatory. she breaks up with him. he feels it's much too early.]
Tell me all you hear is our song. I know I can't be the only one.
[he misses her, he wants her to miss him just as much.]
But you and me we are a breakthrough.
[they "breakthrough" their problems, and get back together]
Just forget the rearview Don’t ever let me go.
[she hurt him, but he wants her to forget the "rearview", as in the past, and just be all better again]
Was it a test? This crime a footnote in your meantime? A shot in the dark when I was certain we had come so far?
[seems to be over again, and he is extra unhappy. of course. he's searching for meaning.]
But I've got a light to blind a vision of doubt Tonight the song on my lips will fly And follow you home wherever you go
[he still is holding on to "their song" and wanting her to hear it; to trigger something to make her miss him]
Where'd you go? What'd you want to know? What did you come all this way for? Where'd you go? What'd you want to know? What is the luster worth so much more?
[he doesn't understand why she got back with him ever if she was just going to do it again.]
Where'd you go? What'd you want to know? I wonder if my heart can tie up the score Where'd you go? What'd you want to know? [x2]
["i wonder if my heart can tie up the score" like, he wants to try to get over this, but he can't if she won't leave for real, she just keeps coming back.]
All I hear is our song,
[he's not forgetting.]
I don't care 'bout the damage done
[he still loves her.]
So turn it up and sing sing along,
["turn up our song" is basically likeeee. he can't get over her; and even though he wants her to move on, so he can too, he knows he'll never forget, and he doesn't want her to either, regardless of the pain.]
I still feel like we've just begun All I hear is our song, I know I can't be the only one But you and me we are a breakthrough, Just forget the rearview Don’t ever let me go.
Tell me all you hear is our song, Like a siren on the 101 Did you come to say so long? I was sure we had just begun Tell me all you hear is our song. I know I can't be the only one. But you and me we are a breakthrough. Just forget the rearview Don’t ever let me go. Let me go [x2]
ahh, i'm prolly completely wrong. whatevvv, i tried :)
i totally agree with beatingheartxbaby. i'm not sure about the whole "sun on your skin" part though. it seems kind of confusing, but i kind of get what you mean. And, yeah, i love this song. and over it.
Saw them live way back in 2005 and they were great
