Set the Rooftops on Fire

Verse

Packed my whole life in a duffel bag

Left the key under the mat we cracked

Streetlights humming like they knew my name

Said goodbye to every window pane

You stood there in your borrowed coat

Counting reasons I should stay below

Pre-Chorus

But the sky's turning orange at the edges now

Is it ending or beginning, tell me how

I can feel it rising underneath my skin

Chorus

We're gonna set the rooftops on fire

Watch the whole block turn to gold

One last spark before we're higher

Than the streets we used to know

Kiss goodbye to who we were

Let the ashes learn to soar

We're gonna set the rooftops on fire

And never look back anymore

Verse

Six flights up where the pigeons sleep

We used to count the stars we'd keep

Now I'm climbing with a heart that's light

Not the heavy kind from last July's fight

The city's smaller from up this high

Every ending's just a new sunrise

Pre-Chorus

And the sky's turning orange at the edges now

Is it ending or beginning, tell me how

I can feel it rising underneath my skin

Chorus

We're gonna set the rooftops on fire

Watch the whole block turn to gold

One last spark before we're higher

Than the streets we used to know

Kiss goodbye to who we were

Let the ashes learn to soar

We're gonna set the rooftops on fire

And never look back anymore

Bridge

Maybe leaving isn't losing

Maybe endings choose the fuse

Every door that closes softly

Opens up a brighter view

So I'm lighting up the water tower

Painting smoke across the blue

This is not a slow surrender

This is me becoming new

Chorus

We're gonna set the rooftops on fire

Watch the whole block turn to gold

One last spark before we're higher

Than the streets we used to know

Kiss goodbye to who we were

Let the ashes learn to soar

We're gonna set the rooftops on fire

And never look back anymore
