Head down to the underground at 2:15 am

Feels like we'd be tempting fate if I don't give in

Sirens summon me from my sleep

Then I realize what their warning means

Hold on, come on, they say it won't be long

As the pilot light lullabies play on

Now the countdown begins, won't these warnings expire

I was sleeping so well for the first time in a while

Now I'm making my bed on this cold concrete floor

Waiting for word, I want to be sure

Hold on, come on, they say it won't be long

As the pilot light lullabies play on

Our dog is in my arms and her heart beats so fast

Tail not quite tucked, but her ears are pinned back

I want to believe and hold on to the plan

I wish I could shake it all off like she can

Hold on, come on, they say it won't be long

And I'm hoping they're not wrong

Till then I'll write this song

As the pilot light lullabies play on
