Rooftop

Say what you want of me
about my tendencies
and how I don't live inside
your reality
you don't realize how hard you're grasping something
until you let it go and see the mark you left

I'm choking like I need a lesson in breathing
and where the rope ends you'll find me trapped and panicking
(So I'll say)
why do you talk way up on your roof top
where I can't hear my name
what is something that you won't say baby

I owe it to guys like Dan to get up and actually try
instead of waste away the days wishing my passion would die
this wave never rode so smooth
when I had nothing to lose

I'm a third string starter
just here to do my job
and no amount of doubters
could ever write these songs
do you know what it's like watching everything just pass you by
in your pathetic life
