Just you and I on this Charm rooftop.
The bass from the party make the ceiling rock.
We hand in hand got my stomach in knots.
The soul of the city’s in the backdrop.
Cool autumn night but **** it’s hot.
Dreaming of the world beyond these blocks.
You claiming this time you just can’t be stopped.
Why you wanna escape so bad?
I remember summer ‘01 when you tried to run.
Summer ‘02 all those plans fell through.
Summer ‘03 you came back to me,
Saying “The longer I stay the more I struggle to breathe.”
Maybe it’s the lights, they not bright enough.
Feelin’ like you locked down, got you handcuffed.
Try to prove to everyone you’re tough.
Girl I know you so exhausted and you fed up.

Midnight eyes staring right at me.
Asking so softly “What do you see?”
The words are there and yet I freeze.
Still hand in hand so tighter I squeeze.
Gazing out at the concrete trees
While your mind’s racing from the possibilities.
I can’t promise your dreams or give guarantees
But you’ll always be safe on this roof with me.

You’re the only girl that truly ever saw me.
There’s no other girl that can replace you.
I admit that I was scared when you first asked me.
I know it felt like I betrayed you.
Take my heart, it’s ready.
You don’t have to walk away.
I promise that I’m not afraid, I mean it.
Take my heart.
I know that I have made mistakes,
But all of me is on display.

And you’re the one that sees me.
You’re the only one that sees me.
I just want you to see me.

If we go
Journey into the unknown
You think this will work for sure?
Let me go, let me go.
Let me….

Lights low
Cash flow
Throwing
Up in the air
Like I don’t care if I’m sober.
I know all the strippers by their real names.
And I can’t complain.
My mom would be ashamed.
Let the liquor
Hit me,
Take all my pain.
Leave me numb and weightless,
But I feel the same.
As my phone rings, you text me,
“Baby come home.”
I won’t be what you need me,
So leave me alone.
Let me sleep.
Let me sleep.
I just can’t be what you need.
So just leave me be.
Just let me sleep.

Car keys
Cold night
Driving
Alone with my memories
Staring into my life.
As I look in the mirrors
I see my fears.
I guess I’m not so alone now,
They travel with me.
As I stumble,
Doorway,
Welcome the dark.
Flick the light on,
And you’re waiting for me.
You hug me, and tell me,
“I’ll be right here.
See I know that you’re hurting
But I’m always here.
You need sleep.”

I need sleep.
I just don’t know…
Don’t let me go…
