Rooftops // Roadblock

from Blank Narrative by Gentleman Contender

/

lyrics

* i don't know what to say to you baby/
i might change your life you might change my life/
we might say goodbye, you might stay the night/
so what do you say baby/
why not? *

it's nothing conventional
nothing resistible
tomorrow's close so it's all systems go
simple it's just you & me, spark the interest
though feels like there's space in between like staccato notes/
i mean you might change my life right
then again you might not
but 3 o'clock on this rooftop
that's an awfully late time slot
for you to be eye-locked w me alone, he's not around
feet like 100 feet off of the ground
seems like it ain't all that small of a town
from here looking out, so turn around
this some shit you wanna pass up?
& you're looking too good w that backdrop
so fuck it why not?

*

caught the sunrise on the balcony
just me
but it was gold
seething from the dust in the sky it was alchemy
but i had to see it alone
[go]
everything's bright till the lights fade
faded all night till it's daybreak
breaking off ties as you walk away
heels in your hand never thought to stay

tired of this heart so i'm using yours
steady as the snare on the 2s and 4s
is the beat, cuz that's what i like
write songs to rewrite the endings in my life

please don't repent me
turn around & stay
