  • I'm not gonna waste this
    This opportunity's mine
    I'm sick of complaining
    About a beautiful life

    How did we get here?
    Did we forget all the things inside?
    And how do we stay here?
    Do we embrace all the things tonight?

    I feel so alive tonight
    You got me feeling sublime
    I want to yell it from the rooftop down
    Until it's over and we're older

    For my entertainment
    You tell a whimsical lie
    To keep me complacent
    You knock me down with a smile

    How did we get here?
    How do we pretend everything's alright?
    And how do we stay here?
    Do we erase all the fear inside?

    I feel so alive tonight
    You got me feeling sublime
    I want to yell it from the rooftop down
    Until it's over and we're older

    Like sugar and cyanide
    These worlds are gonna collide
    I want to yell it from the rooftops down
    Until it's over, and we're older

    So take me, but go slow
    Let me hide somewhere I know
    And let this seed grow
    Until we finally call this home
    So take me, but go slow
    Let me hide somewhere I know
    And let this seed grow
    Until we finally call this home

    If I was to die tonight
    Would it tear you apart?
    Would you yell it from the rooftops down?
    Until it's over and you're older

    I feel so alive tonight
    You've got me feeling sublime
    I want to yell it from the rooftop down
    Until it's over and we're older

    Like sugar and cyanide
    I want to make it collide
    I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops down
    Until it's over and we're older, yeah Writer/s: Dale Stewart, John Humphrey, Shaun Welgemoed, William Mclawhorn

  • Rob from Moose Jaw, SkI think you can really tell the amount of thought he (Morgan) put into these lyrics, as compared to his previous albums; this one feels alive, musically and emotionally. Great track.
