I Remember A Rooftop

Intro: Verse 1: I remember a rooftop, making out Downstairs the coppers screamed so loud I'd waited so long for that night Then I just turned away Pre-Chorus 1: And I know every street on the West-Side But I was lost, unfound, not right Maybe there's something wrong inside Verse 2: Now I've got nowhere to go My hands is all that I've got I'm so sorry for so many things That I haven't said yet Pre-Chorus 2: This is the waiting-room I spend my whole life in They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in I lost my life on the first try You found it miles down the line A swollen face with three first names You kissed the taste back in my tongue You sucked the smoke out of my lungs And then we slept for days and days and days When we woke up, my heart all choked up Had to say "I love you" way too soon But right there on your couch you loved me too Right there on your couch you loved me too Bridge: Verse 3: Nineteen and sober once or twice I caught some junkie's bad advice Up to my eyes in others' problems Couldn't see, I'd never solve them Pre-Chorus 3: I'm only skin and bone and piss and pills unknown I took my lousy shot at public recognition Could never pull the trigger if I wasn't shaking I lost my life on the first try You found it miles down the line A swollen face with three first names You kissed the taste back in my tongue You sucked the smoke out of my lungs And then we slept for days and days and days When we woke up, my heart all choked up Had to say "I love you" way too soon But right there on your couch you loved me too Right there on your couch you loved me too
