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 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"
Wings won't take me, Heights don't phase me, So take a step but don't look down, Take a step...
[Chorus:] 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
Perpetual motion, the image won't focus A blur is all that's seen. But here in this moment, Like the eye of the storm, It all came clear to me: 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...
Wings won't take me, Heights don't phase me, So take a step but don't look down, Take a step...
[Chorus]
I count the times that I've been sorry, Now my compassion slowly drowns, If there's a time these walls could guard you Then let that time be right now.
[Chorus:] 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
