Lyrics

We sat on the rooftop
We held so still
The dead of the night
A songbook to fill
You told me about a poet
Your dad knew back then
Who wrote living poems
About dead men
Did I ever tell you I was afraid of heights?
With you I was not light
And all the songs we wrote at night
I still think of them sometimes
Back in your parents' basement
We strummed our guitars
Candlelight and shadows
Glow in the dark stars
And for a moment
We rose above that town
The dead man smiled
As we left the ground
Did I ever tell you I was afraid of heights?
With you I was not light
And all the songs we wrote at night
I still think of them sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes at night
I go for a walk
And stop to look up
At the rooftops
Leaning forward
To get a better view
I see the dead man
As he sings to me and you
Of all the fear
Of all the love
All the gravity
Let's go up
