Rooftop Ransom (versie 2)

Verse

Six a.m., the streetlights fade to grey

Your coffee's cold but I don't care today

The fire escape's still warm from last night

Sirens far off, we're not gonna fight

We got thirty stories stacked up high

Windows like diamonds catching the first light

Someone below is yelling at us to move on

But our whole city's turning orange, it's noon

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what you want before the sky turns blue

Is this a goodbye or just an opening new door for you?

Chorus

We're paying ransom with the light we stole

Every window turned to gold like coal

City's burning but I don't wanna stop

Set it on fire, let it never drop

Verse 2

Your phone's dead, mine's got one bar left over

Tower in the distance catching what the sun won't cover

The cops below are waving us down low

We tell them it's a sunset they gotta see to know

Three floors up and the wind is cold and sweet

We could be running from this kind of heat

But your hand on mine says we got nothing to lose tonight

So we just keep burning, let it burn out bright

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what you want before the sky turns blue

Is this a goodbye or just an opening new door for you?

Chorus

We're paying ransom with the light we stole

Every window turned to gold like coal

City's burning but I don't wanna stop

Set it on fire, let it never drop

Bridge

Maybe the whole block's gonna burn down tonight

Maybe this is how we make it right

I don't need a reason, I just need your name

Written across every window in flame

Chorus

We're paying ransom with the light we stole

Every window turned to gold like coal

City's burning but I don't wanna stop

Set it on fire, let it never drop
