The Rooftop

Tyler thinks it's his last day
And we know it's his first
Whiskey in his coffee
No cream
And he walks to work
His office stands high above the city
50 flights up
And it's a pity
That he won't see the sunset tonight

And the people around him
They don't even see him
He sings

Please don't walk on by
Just say hi
I can't take no more of this lonely life
I'll climb every stair to the rooftop
And nobody stares or tries to stop it
So please don't walk on by
Just say hi

So Tyler looks around at the robots
They won't look up from their cell blocks
They get their dopamine from a lit screen
He tries and he tried to make them see
That Tyler has fought, now he's too weak
He sings

Please don't walk on by
Just say hi
I can't take no more of this lonely life
I'll climb every stair to the rooftop
And nobody stares or tries to stop it
So please don't walk on by
Just say hi
(Just say hi)

Tyler feels the winter breeze
On his young cheek
It's the only thing he's felt in weeks
He steps off the edge of the rooftop
Whispers "goodbye" and hopes it'll stop but
She comes running by to say hi

She says that she knows
She says that she understands but
It's not time for their goodbye
So please don't walk on by
Just say hi

Oh won't you just say hi
