Alkaline Trio - I Remember A Rooftop Lyrics
I remember a rooftop making outDownstairs the carpet screamed so loudI waited so long for that nightThen I just turned awayAnd I know every streetI know it’s sideBut I was lost, unfound, not rightMaybe there’s something wrong insideNow I've got nowhere to goMy answer's all that I've gotI'm so sorry for so many thingsThat I haven't said yetThis is the waiting room I spend my whole life inThey gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sinsIf I'm lucky maybe I’ll finish before the roof caves inI lost my life on the first tryYou found it miles down the lineA swallowed face with3 birds' namesIt gets the taste back on my tongueYou sucked the smoke out of my lungsAnd then we slept for days and days and daysWhen we woke upMy heart I choked upHad to say I love you way too soonBut right there on your couchYou loved me tooRight there on your couchYou loved me too19 and sober once or twiceI caught some junkie's bad adviceUp to my eyes in others' problemsCouldn’t see I never solve themMy Only skin and boneAnd this and pills unknownI took my lousy shotAt public recognitionCould never pull the triggerIf I wasn't shakingI lost my life on the first tryYou found it miles down the lineA swallowed face with3 birds' namesIt gets the taste back in my tongueYou sucked the smoke out of my lungsAnd then we slept for days and days and daysWhen we woke upMy heart I choked upHad to say I love you way too soonBut right there on your couchYou loved me tooRight there on your couchYou loved me too
