I Hear Sirens

A song that I've been playing for a few years now. It took me quite a while to find inspiration for lyrics, but I think I did pretty well with them. I should note that I'm not quite sure I'm happy with all portions of the vocal melody.

One night, I stepped into the sunshine--
I saw her face
She was a heavenly flower
In a desolate place
I must admit, I'm rather
Entranced by her grace
All reason and logic
Shot into space

What is this wave washing over me?
Is it bad luck--or destiny?
Everything I know
Washes out to sea
This must be true insanity

One by one,
I cut the sails loose
But it was too late
God damn, I shot my reason
Into space
I was distracted, putting lilacs in a vase
That night, I stepped into the sunshine
And saw her face

What is this wave washing over me?
Is it bad luck--or destiny?
Everything I know washes out to sea
This truly is insanity
