Up On The Roof
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes these fantasies come true
and now the whole thing misses me
held down by fishing wire and glue
to be the best we couldn't be
up on the roof with the whole world at our feet
is this everything you thought it'd be?
you waited for religiously
just know I wouldn't hate you if you try
old times make heroes out of fools
now the whole thing misses me
right at the breaking point you knew
this is the best you'd never be
up on the roof with the whole word at our feet
is this everything you thought it'd be
you waited for religiously
just know I wouldn't hate you if you try,
you might, decide, to flight
try, you might, decide, its right
is this everything you thought it'd be
you waited for religiously
just know I wouldn't trade you for the world
is this everything you thought it'd be
best names in the industry..
