Up on the Roof Lyrics

Sugar now I'm gonna do anything
Whatever it takes I'm gonna get you by my side
And if you don't understand what I mean
I've come a long way to save you from this scene

Up on the roof
Reach out to fly if you can't move
Over the edge
Where you can feel it for yourself
My heart is a mess
Torn up broken glass
There's nothing you can do
But love me while you can and hold on to

Honey don't worry 'bout your hopes and dreams
Where we're going gonna
gonna get you get you what you need
Now no really
Now no really
Now no really just you wait and see

Up on the roof
Reach out to fly if you can't move
Over the edge
Where you can feel it for yourself
My heart is a mess
Torn up broken glass
There's nothing you can do
But love me while you can and hold on
My heart is a mess
Torn up broken glass
There's nothing you can do
But love me while you can and break on through
