The Roof (Back In Time)
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
It wasn't raining yet (yet)
But it was definitely (but it was definitely)
A little misty on that warm November night
And my heart was pounding (pounding)
My inner voice resounding (oh)
Begging me to turn away, but
I just had to see your face to feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web of my desire for you (and I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away, I only wanted you
To taste my sadness as you kissed me in the dark
Every time I feel the need, I envision you
Caressing me and go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
And so we finished the Moët and I started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me in your arms (you took me in your arms)
I was so caught up in the moment, I couldn't bear to let you go yet
So I threw caution to the wind and started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed for such a long, long time (and I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot the sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood there in the rain
Every time I feel the need, I envision you (envision you)
Caressing me (caressing me) and go back in time (back)
To relive the splendor of you and I (you and I, you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need, I envision you (envision you)
Caressing me and go back in time (go back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I (you)
On the rooftop that rainy night
Last night, last night I dreamed that I (dreamed)
Whispered the words, "I love you" (that I love you, boy)
And touched you
So very subtly as we were kissing goodbye
Pretty baby
How I'm missing you
Every time I
Every time I feel the need, I envision you (envision you)
Caressing me (caressing me) and go back in time (go back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need, I envision you
Caressing me and go back in time (go back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night (on that rainy night)
Every time I feel the need, I envision you
Caressing me and go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need, I envision you
Caressing me and go back in time (go back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
I got you stuck off the realness
It wasn't raining yet (yet)
But it was definitely (but it was definitely)
A little misty on that warm November night
And my heart was pounding (pounding)

Every time I feel the need, I envision you
Caressing me and go back in time (go back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
