Lyrics
Intro - Acoustic guitar, light and playful
Verse 1
Sitting right here on the rooftop of the world
Drinking yesterday's coffee, going cold
And I see you down there crossing my street
The same one as before - mine, not yours
Has it really been that long?
I went vegan - lasted two whole weeks
Learned yoga, then ukulele
Then forgot them both completely
Chorus - Upbeat, infectious melody
So what do I do now?
Tweet at you, send you a message?
Run downstairs and yell out "Heeey"?
Or just sit up here
And sing you this song
That you'll never hear
From the rooftop of the world
Watching you on my street
Verse 2 - Slightly more energetic
By the way - I had three jobs
Then two more, now I do something with computers
I wrote a story about us
But that was long ago, I don't remember it anymore
I learned to cook
Then forgot again
Bought a plant - it died
Just like our relationship... friendship! I meant friendship
Chorus
So what do I do now?
Tweet at you, send you a message?
Run downstairs and yell out "Heeey"?
Or just sit up here
And sing you this song
That you'll never hear
From the rooftop of the world
Watching you on my street
Bridge - Stripped down, just vocals and soft guitar
And you look just the same
Maybe a bit shorter? Taller?
Can't tell from up here
But it's definitely you
With that walk of yours
That I'd recognize from miles away
Final Chorus - Building up, full instrumentation
And you know what?
I'm not gonna text you
Not gonna call
Not gonna run downstairs
I'll just sit here
On the rooftop of the world
Sing myself this silly song
And watch you walk away
Down my street
After all these years...
Outro - Fading out, whispered
...maybe next time
End
