lyrics

THIS ROOF

this roof is higher than the highest tree
i'm watching people dogs and cars moving around
if you meet someone by accident
you should make a more astonished sound
things are things that's why we love them so
they never catch us by surprise
but when they're older they look human too
and when they're broken
they look nice

a friend of mine just thinks he's a pedestrian
he needs no girl he needs no car he needs no luck
he's got an iron face and all you wanna do
is jump right on his back or give him hugs
me i would prefer to live in twilight zone
everything's a little vague and you don't know
should i give my heart to all these strangers here
or should i buy some shady drinks and take it slow

this roof is higher than the highest tree
at least we found a place under the sun
it's just for hours then you have to leave
but baby you are not the only one
clouds are moving just as fast as aeroplanes
it's easy to go somewhere in the end
meanwhile in another space
someone wants to be your new best friend
