Alkaline Trio - Rooftops Lyrics

Alkaline Trio Lyrics

"Rooftops"
(originally by Hot Water Music)

I got the scars to remind me
I've watched the clocks go 'round
I've walked myself through some days
That have put me where I am

In another time, in another place
All things might have been in place
But for now I'm finding myself
Out here standing on a rooftop screaming

Hey world are you, listening?
Listening to me?
I'm here and I'm hurting
To begin again

It's another time, it's another place
We are making more old days
But for now I'm finding myself
Out here standing on the doorstep screaming

Hey world are you, listening?
Listening to me?
I'm here and I'm hurting
To begin again

Hey world, I'm ready to listen
Learn something new
I'm here and I'm willing
To get myself through
