Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold on, slow down, again from the top now
And tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever
But I'm here now waiting
[Verse 2]
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
She said, just go on to what you pretend is your life
But please don't die on me
[Verse 3]
WINGS WON'T TAKE ME
HEIGHTS DON'T FAZE ME
SO TAKE A STEP
BUT DON'T LOOK DOWN
TAKE A STEP
[Verse 4]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
[Verse 5]
Perpetual motion, the image won't focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment, like the eye of a storm
It all came clear to me
[Verse 6]
I found a shoulder to lean on, an infallible reason
To live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell
[Verse 7]
WINGS WON'T TAKE ME
HEIGHTS DON'T FAZE ME
SO TAKE A STEP
BUT DON'T LOOK DOWN
TAKE A STEP
[Verse 8]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
[Verse 9]
I count the times that I've been sorry
I know, I know
Now my compassion slowly drowns
I know, I know
If there's a time these walls could guard you
I know, I know
Then let that time be right now
[Verse 10]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
[Verse 11]
I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
[Verse 12]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (Ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (Ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (Ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
