Up To The Roof

  • All I see it's not for me
    What I want you have not got
    Tried to use the things you sold me
    No matter what the cost.
    Tried to go the way you told me
    But each time I got lost.
    The stairs didn't lead me anywhere.

    I'm taking the fire escape
    Up to the roof
    Don't care if it's not that way
    You'll find the truth
    Time to make this climb
    To rise above

    This room and all of you
    Who say I should do like you would
    Tried to live the live you sold me
    No matter what the cost
    Tried to walk the way you told me
    But each time I got lost

    I'm taking the fire escape
    Up to the roof
    Don't care if it's not the way
    You'll find the truth
    And when I get up that high
    I don't know what I'll find
    But I'd rather look at the sky than wonder why
    I let you take my time
    Time to make this climb
    To rise above

    I'm taking the fire escape
    Up to the roof
    Don't care if it's not the way
    You'll find the truth
    And when I get up that high
    I don't know what I'll find
    But I'd rather look at the sky
    Than wonder why I let you take my time
    Time to make this climb
    To rise above
    Time to make this climb
    To rise above Publisher: Bluewater Music Corp.
