Hold on, slow down
Again from the top now
And tell me everything,
I know I've been gone for
What seems like forever
But I'm here now waiting
To convince you that I'm
Not a ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think,
She said: «Just go on to what you
Pretend is your life but
Please don't die on me»
Wings won't take me,
Heights don't phase me,
So take a step but don't look down,
Take a step…
[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Ready to fall,
I think I'm at the edge now
But I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop
Ready to fall
Perpetual motion, the image won't focus
A blur is all that's seen.
But here in this moment,
Like the eye of the storm,
It all came clear to me:
I found a shoulder to lean on,
An infallible reason
To live, all by itself,
I took one last look from the heights
That I once loved,
And then I ran like hell…
Wings won't take me,
Heights don't phase me,
So take a step but don't look down,
Take a step…
[Chorus]
I count the times that I've been sorry,
Now my compassion slowly drowns,
If there's a time these walls
could guard you
Then let that time be right now.
[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Ready to fall,
I think I'm at the edge now
But I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop
Ready to fall
