Alta View - Rooftop lyrics

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 pa**ion 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 pa** you by in your pathetic life
