[Intro] Above the traffic a ghost above all these eyes Out of sight all these lights look fake from up here… i don’t know… everything feels quieter on the roofs… like the whole world finally stopped talking… and it’s just me… and the skyline… and the static… [Verse 1] I lean on the ledge cold metal in my palm below, the buses drag their chains through puddles and alarms I watch my name fade off the glass I breathe so slow I let the noise pass [Pre-Chorus] And the air keeps saying stay a while stay a while Every broken window starts to smile starts to smile [Chorus] Up on the roof I can hear myself Up on the roof I can hear myself The world goes soft when I lose the crowd Up on the roof I can hear myself [Verse 2] A siren bends then melts in blue someone down there is still running through But up here my hands unclench I let the dark sit on the fence I trace the edge of every light like maybe tomorrow might feel light [Pre-Chorus] And the air keeps saying stay a while stay a while Every broken window starts to smile starts to smile [Chorus] Up on the roof I can hear myself Up on the roof I can hear myself The world goes soft when I lose the crowd Up on the roof I can hear myself [Bridge] If I look down I might fall back in into all that noise and the ones I’ve been So I keep my eyes on the edge of dawn one more breath and the fear is gone [Final Chorus] Up on the roof I can hear myself Up on the roof I can hear myself The world goes soft when I lose the crowd Up on the roof I can hear myself Up on the roof I can hear myself Up on the roof I can hear myself
