lyrics

111TH FLOOR

Skyline rises. All these people with their hands in the fire.
Things were different. Nothing mattered when I was a child.

Did I climb this far to fall down? Far away forgotten sounds.
Very strange that I still love you isn’t it? Isn’t it?
Come up here where I can see you. I swear to God these words are true.
I can’t believe I guarded you with my life.

I’m so sad here without you.
There’s nothing sacred. There’s nothing to miss.
It’s funny how it finds you.
But, it’s been said much better than this.

Take my blessing. Small price, these wages of sin.
No objections. Too full of blackness, I’m too full of gin.

Am I right to hurt you this way? Have I wished all that I may?
If I know you right you’ll say ‘So much for him.’
Come up on the roof here with me, with the hum in your brain thinking.
You’ll be wishing that you kissed me like you should.

Did I climb this far to fall down? Far away forgotten sounds.
Very strange that I still love you isn’t it? Isn’t it?
Come up here where I can see you. I swear to God these words are true.
I can’t believe I guarded you with my life.

I’m so sad here without you.
There’s nothing sacred. There’s nothing to miss.
It’s funny how it finds you.
But, it’s been said much better than this.

I’m so sad...
