From This Rooftop
From this rooftop I could see this city sleep
Through these windows it stared right back into me
All the streets that I knew and the places that I called home
I'm saying goodbye
In the morning this'll be a distant dream
Of a time when they told us we could do anything
Well if they were right why they hell would I wanna leave
No I don't why
Here's to this city that I love
I'm not ready to leave you yet
Here's to the memories we made
That I know I won't soon forget
If we could bottle this sunrise
Would that make it all alright?
Come to the rooftop with me babe
And we can say we tried
On this rooftop, watching the cars pass by
And you asked me, what's the last thing that made you cry
well I wish I had told you the truth, don't know why I lied
I don't know why
When we wake up, we'll regret what was left unsaid
While we had the chance before sun had set
I'm driving away for the last time, praying you know
I wasn't ready to go
Here's to this city that I love
I'm not ready to leave you yet
Here's to the memories we made, that I know
I won't soon forget
If we could share one more sunrise
Would that make it all alright
Come to the rooftop with me babe
And we can say we tried
Through these windows it stared right back into me
All the streets that I knew and the places that I called home
I'm saying goodbye
In the morning this'll be a distant dream
Of a time when they told us we could do anything
Well if they were right why they hell would I wanna leave
No I don't why
Here's to this city that I love
I'm not ready to leave you yet
Here's to the memories we made
That I know I won't soon forget
If we could bottle this sunrise
Would that make it all alright?
Come to the rooftop with me babe
And we can say we tried
On this rooftop, watching the cars pass by
And you asked me, what's the last thing that made you cry
well I wish I had told you the truth, don't know why I lied
I don't know why
When we wake up, we'll regret what was left unsaid
While we had the chance before sun had set
I'm driving away for the last time, praying you know
I wasn't ready to go
Here's to this city that I love
I'm not ready to leave you yet
Here's to the memories we made, that I know
I won't soon forget
If we could share one more sunrise
Would that make it all alright
Come to the rooftop with me babe
And we can say we tried
