I heard someone call your name today
It wasn't what I expected
They repeated your name a million times
I think they wanted your attention

I heard someone call your name today
And it made me kinda sad
It reminded me of all the times we shared
And all of the times we never had

When I heard someone call your name today,
It didn't make me happy
I closed my eyes, and saw your face
Printed in my memory
For once, I wished it would disappear

Because when they called your name today,
I knew it wasn't for you.
The echos of the screeching noise
Repeating like a record
Over and over again
It was 3am and I was wide awake
And I knew it meant no good.

They didn't call your name today,
They haven't in a while.
I thought your voice was in the sirens
Propelling down my street
Calling me, pleading me
To be with you again
But just as I thought I could grasp hold and reach you,
My hands came up empty
and the sirens faded away.
