I Remember A Rooftop Songtext / Lyric

I remember a rooftop making out

Downstairs the carpet screamed so loud

I waited so long for that night

Then I just turned away

And I know every street, I know its side

But I was lost, unfound, not right

Maybe there's something wrong inside



Now I've got nowhere to go

My answer's all that I've got

I'm so sorry for so many things

That I haven't said yet

This is the waiting room I spend my whole life in

They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins

If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in






I lost my life on the first try

You found it miles down the line

A swallowed face with three birds' names

It gets the taste back on my tongue

You sucked the smoke out of my lungs

And then we slept for days and days and days



When we woke up

My heart, I choked up

Had to say "I love you" way too soon

But right there on your couch you loved me too

Right there on your couch you loved me too



Nineteen and sober once or twice

I caught some junkie's bad advice

Up to my eyes in others' problems

Couldn't see I never solve them

My only skin and bone and this and pills unknown

I took my lousy shot at public recognition

Could never pull the trigger if I wasn't shaking



I lost my life on the first try

You found it miles down the line

A swallowed face with three birds' names

It gets the taste back on my tongue

You sucked the smoke out of my lungs

And then we slept for days and days and days



When we woke up

My heart, I choked up

Had to say "I love you" way too soon

But right there on your couch you loved me too

Right there on your couch you loved me too
