Rooftops Lyrics by Maya Elise

2018

I thought about you yesterday again
The stoplight reminded me of the red sweater you were wearing
I tried to forget about it quick, easily, but then
I found myself running through yellow, so I wouldn't have to see it again

I hung a picture on my wall, it was crooked like your smile
I tried to fix it with the level that you bought when I said, lets build us a house
Now I can’t look at houses without thinking 'bout rooftops
Now I can't look at rooftops without thinking ’bout

I watched the sun come out for an hour
So I could watch it go back again
I tried to let go of the power
That keeps me hanging by a thread
And I'm afraid to cut it, cause I don't know where I'd fall
Yeah I'm afraid to cut it, cause I don't know where I'd...

I made a simple misconnection between loving and fear
I followed every mis-direction, that's why I’m still standing here
And I don’t know what its gonna take to make me break out from this
Hold
Hold

I watched the sun come out for an hour
So I could watch it go back again
I tried to let go of the power
That keeps me hanging by a thread
And I'm afraid to cut it, cause I don’t know where I'd fall
Yeah I'm afraid to cut it, cause I don't know where I’d...

And oooh, I know
That I'm, free to go
By will, by want
I need, I need

To see the sun come out for an hour, and have it stay out all day
To see the sign I see the warning, that I should walk away
I think it's time to cut it, I think it's time to fall
I think it's time to cut it, I think it's time to fall

I think I'll follow that southern path, and the wrecking of my heart
I'll let go all I'm holding on, it ain't alot but goddamn it's a start
