Writing on the Rooftop

These downtown lights, they ain't as clear

Since you said that I'd never end up here

Do you sleep at night, knowin I'm not home

Meanwhile I'll just light another smoke, sittin here alone

Just writin on the rooftop again

Singin songs that I wish I was in

And I know we said forever and more

Guess forever ain't as long as I hoped for

Every Sunday mornin, them church doors open

But Saturday night I know I won't make it inside

You say you tell no lies, if that's the truth you spoke

Then I'm the punchline at the end of your jokes

And now I'm writin on the rooftop again

Singin songs that I wish you were in

And I know we said forever and more

Guess forever ain't as long as we hoped for

Guess forever ain't as long as I hoped for

And now I'm writin on the rooftop again

Singin songs that I wish we were in

And I know we said forever and more

Guess forever ain't as long as I hoped for

And now I'm writin on the rooftop again

Singin songs that I wish we were in

And I know we said forever and more

Guess forever ain't as long as we hoped for

Guess forever ain't as long as I hoped for
