Sirens in my ribs 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Taxi cab is swaying to the light of the streetlamp

Four o'clock and your shoulder leans into my breath

I think I hear the sirens in my ribs, not out there on the street

You say it's just the hum of the engine but we both know what's true

Pre-Chorus

So let the meter tick and the clock hands turn around

Let the whole wide world outside keep spinning round and round

Chorus

Sirens in my ribs, siren in my chest

Don't stop moving till you find yourself on your feet

Verse 2

Rooftop city skyline through a smoky glass of air

Your hand finds mine in the static hum that's everywhere

The engine purrs like it's guarding every beat we make

Every mile we drive just cuts us down to what's at stake

Pre-Chorus

So let the meter tick and the clock hands turn around

Let the whole wide world outside keep spinning round and round

Chorus

Sirens in my ribs, siren in my chest

Don't stop moving till you find yourself on your feet

Bridge

No horns outside, it's just us two against time

Every streetlight flashing like a drumbeat of mine

This isn't just the taxi, this is where I belong

Where every mile we ride becomes something more than long

Sirens in my ribs, siren in my chest

This beat will carry us home to where our hearts find rest

Chorus

Sirens in my ribs, siren in my chest

Don't stop moving till you find yourself on your feet
