[Verse 1] Cold rail Under my hands Coffee in a paper cup Breath making tiny clouds You’re gone Sun’s coming up Taxi horns under my feet Sky pulling off its dust [Chorus] I’m on the rooftop at first light Heart breaking in a soft way Sad But I’m staying To watch the city wake I’m on the rooftop at first light Tear tracks starting to fade It hurts But I’m staying To watch the city wake [Verse 2] Phones buzz I let them ring Windows flicker on and off Like everybody’s thinking Your name In every sound Distant train and barking dog All of it calming down [Chorus] I’m on the rooftop at first light Heart breaking in a soft way Sad But I’m staying To watch the city wake I’m on the rooftop at first light Tear tracks starting to fade It hurts But I’m staying To watch the city wake [Bridge] Maybe this is how Letting go begins (oh) Quiet as the smoke Curling from my lips I’m not okay But I’m not afraid If I can stand here once I can stand here again [Chorus] I’m on the rooftop at first light Heart breaking in a soft way Sad But I’m staying To watch the city wake I’m on the rooftop at first light Tear tracks starting to fade It hurts But I’m staying To watch the city wake
