Lyrics
Sat on the rooftop
Watching the birds flying free
Watching the clouds walk
And watching the rain become the sea
Hearing my love talk
And every breath she ever breathes
Like it was always supposed to be like that
But then we broke up
(Oh no)
And she went West and I went East
She got a new boyfriend
(Oh no)
A little too soon if you're asking me
But I've heard that she loves him
A little bit more than she'll ever love me
And it was always supposed to be like that
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
I look to the skyline and said
"Well, how many falls until I fly?"
Look to the old times and said
"How many roads until I find?"
And oh it's tough now
'Cause love always, love always is unkind
I sat on the rooftop
And I watched the birds flying free
I watched the clouds walk
(Ah-oh)
And I watched the rain become the sea
And just for a moment, yeah
(Ah-oh)
And just for a moment I felt so free
From all I'm supposed to be
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
I look to the skyline and said
"How many falls until I fly?"
Look to the old times I said
"How many roads until I'm right?"
And oh, it's tough now
'Cause love always, love always is so unkind
