Sirens in the Distance
She was everything I wanted
Blue eyed and blonde haired
she made me laugh
and talked a lot about love
but I heard sirens in the distance
she called at random times
and her sing song voice enchants
she's checking up on me
but what the heck, she made me smile
but did I hear sirens in the distance?
I've known girls before
that were car crashes waiting to happen
she tempted me with caresses
and lovely food
surely those weren't sirens in the distance?
She was everything I wanted
But she wanted more
A hundred percent attention
Why I had tipped the barmaid?
Why had I smiled at the waitress?
Yes, those were sirens in the distance
I had to let her go
But not without a fight
And I know it’s her who called
In the middle of the night
So now I leave my phone on silent
And I no longer hear the sirens in the distance.

Based on a story one of my friends told me in the pub with a nod to a certain old flame thrown in!
