lyrics

Sit up on the roof with me and take off all your ills
We can feed the pigeons resting on the window sills
I’ll throw them salted flower seeds and bits of orange peels
And they will peck my fingers and they’ll teach me how to feel again

We’ll fly away with wings me made from neon signs and steel
We’ll leave this city far behind our vapour trails and wheels
And if you start to cry I’ll use my wings to wipe your tears
And we’ll stay up on this rooftop hiding from the world for years

I sit with my legs crossed and feed the birds ‘til you come home
But that day never seems to come, I’m still up here alone
I cannot talk about this with the other kids at school
Sometimes the world below the clouds can be so very cruel

So sit up on the roof with me and feel the breezy night
We can build our wings from carousels and hope and strings of light
And maybe on that day we will have finally found a friend
And we can live forever just as long as we pretend
