Siren on the Dial (version 2)

Intro – whispered

Tune in, tune in

Verse 1

Two a.m., the bridge lights blink

Thumb on the dial, the static's thick

Then your voice slips through the noise

Sharp as a key in a lock, click

You say the city's ours till dawn

You say turn left, so I turn left

Every exit wears your name

Every red light holds its breath

Pre-Chorus

I don't steer, I just follow the sound

Louder, louder, don't come down

Chorus

You're the siren on the dial

You're the siren on the dial

Pulling me off every road I know

You're the siren on the dial

Verse 2

Six months on, the same old bridge

Same old station, same old key

Your jacket's still on the passenger seat

It's just a rerun, you and me

I know the signal's out of range

I know you're not on the other end

Still I roll the window down

Still I sing it back again

Pre-Chorus

I don't steer, I just follow the sound

Louder, louder, don't come down

Chorus

You're the siren on the dial

You're the siren on the dial

Pulling me off every road I know

You're the siren on the dial

Bridge – whispered

I could turn the knob to anything

Weather, traffic, someone new

But my hand keeps drifting back

Like the needle knows it's you

Final Chorus

You're the siren on the dial

You're the siren on the dial

Pulling me off every road I know

You're the siren on the dial

Outro – whispered

Tune in, tune in

You're the siren on the dial
