Rooftop Lights

[Verse 1] Someone brought cider, someone brought gin Nova’s in antlers, sneaking chips again Fairy lights strung from the AC vent It’s freezing cold and heaven-sent [Verse 2] Last year it was just you and me One spark, one kiss, one mystery Now laughter bounces off the brick And someone’s singing off-key — it sticks [Chorus] Rooftop lights, hot cocoa nights We made a home in city heights December sky, our noses red Still dancing where it all began One year on, we’ve built this high With scarves, dumb hats, and friends nearby Rooftop lights And love that stays [Verse 3] You burned the cookies, I spilled the punch Mira brought her twins who howl at lunch Your boss is here in full faux fur And everyone says “it’s colder than last year” [Chorus] Rooftop lights, warm hand in mine We hold our breath, then toast the time This isn’t magic, it’s something more It’s people you let through the door One year on, it’s not just us It’s every heart we’ve learned to trust Rooftop lights And found family [Bridge – bright and sincere] From paper lanterns to string light glow We built a life we didn’t know It started small — two mugs, one star Now look at who we are [Final Chorus – lifted with gang vocals] Rooftop lights, too loud, too bright Someone plays “Jingle Bell Rock” just right We kiss like it’s the very start And hold this crew like it’s our heart It’s not a dream It’s what we made Rooftop lights And love that stayed [Outro – laughter, clinks, group voices] Same stars New night Rooftop lights
