alarm call

where have you gone?

i am calling on you

your alarm calls on

and i'm coming to your rescue

i know exactly what to do

i make the call and sit by you

check your heartbeat against mine

and mop your brow from time to time

where have you gone?

i am calling on you

your alarm call's on

and i'm coming to your rescue

i'm the person by your side

i'm your mentor i'm your guide

upon me you can rely

when you're high and when you're dry

the irony is

that my recovery is always slower than yours

you're back on your feet in no time

when i'm left floored

haunted by the sound of your alarm call

living in fear of your next fall

where have you gone?

i am calling on you

your alarm call's on

and i'm coming to your rescue

i know exactly what to do

i make the call and sit by you

check your heartbeat against mine

but there's no trace of it this time

where have you gone?

i am calling on you

my siren's on

and there's so many things that i need you to do

i never asked when you were here

because it seemed so crystal clear

that it was you who needed me

that was the way it had to be

where have you gone?

i am calling on you

my siren's on

and there's so many things that i need you to do

be my mentor

be my guide

show me when to run and where to hide

i know you would have known just what to do

with all the things a life could throw at you

my siren will remain on for awhile

waiting soundproof

by a timid little smile

i'm still haunted by your alarm call

without the fear

of your next

fall
