Edge of the Roof

Now that your star has risen
can you see all the holes in the sky
can you tell me if what you wanted is closer or further from sight
once we walked up mountains
but that takes too much of our time
grab hold of this truth
baby we’re drunk and this is the edge of the roof
baby we’re drunk and this is the edge of the roof

Sitting up here together
looking down at our husbands and wives
would we ever find the courage to change the rest of our lives
broken hearts in every color
like laundry on the line
living proof
baby we’re drunk and this is the edge of the roof
baby we’re drunk and this is the edge of the roof

Birds in the canopy below us
sing songs into the night
let’s forget about what we think the world out there owes us here’s to you, here’s to me, and here’s to that feeling of flight

Out past the horizon
out past the you and the me
out beyond even us or them
tell me how many gods can you see?
can you see the god of riches
or the god of mortality
clinging to youth
baby we’re drunk and this is the edge of the roof
baby we’re drunk and this is the edge of the roof
