Lyrics
[verse]
When the city noise gets under my skin
And the walls close in on where I've been
I climb the stairs up past the final door
And find the peace I'm looking for
[chorus]
Up on the roof, up on the roof
When the world's too loud, that's my only proof
There's a quiet place where the stars are near
Up on the roof, my worries disappear
[verse]
The traffic hums like a river far below
But up here the wind is all I know
I bring my troubles up into the air
And leave them scattered everywhere
[chorus]
Up on the roof, up on the roof
When the world's too loud, that's my only proof
There's a quiet place where the stars are near
Up on the roof, my worries disappear
[bridge]
So if you're tired and the day was long
Come on up where the night sings its song
We'll watch the lights of the city glow
And let the tension simply go
[chorus]
Up on the roof, up on the roof
When the world's too loud, that's my only proof
There's a quiet place where the stars are near
Up on the roof, my worries disappear
