[Intro]
Up on that rooftop
Up on that rooftop
[Verse 1]
It's been a week
So much longer than what we are used to
It's hard to sleep
Like I forgot how to do it without you
We're on and off but always do it again
We keep on finding ways to let it happen, you'll see
I'll find you wait at my door, I'm your go to
[Pre-Chorus]
Hurts like hell, like nothing I ever felt
Why am I doing it to myself?
When I know that you're doubting, you're tired of trying
[Chorus]
Up on that rooftop
You told me that you don't care
Turn all the lights off
So where do we go from here?
Up on that rooftop
You told me that you don't care
Turn all the lights off
So where do we go from here?
[Verse 2]
I'm on the floor
With my head to the wall, and I'm thinking, I'm feeling torn
I bet you're calling 'cause you've been out drinking
I thought you said that it would never happen
That you were done and wouldn't do it again (What for?)
Do we pretend that we're not gonna miss it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hurts like hell, like nothing I ever felt
Why am I doing it to myself?
When I know that you're doubting, you're tired of trying
[Chorus]
Up on that rooftop
You told me that you don't care (you told me that you don't care)
Turn all the lights off
So where do we go from here?
Up on that rooftop
You told me I'm wasting tears
Turn all the lights off
So where do we go from here?
[Post-Chorus]
Whe-whe-where do we go, where do we go
Whe-whe-where do we go from here?
Whe-whe-where do we go, where do we go
Whe-whe-where do we go from here?
[Pre-Chorus]
It hurts like hell, like nothing I ever felt
Why am I doing it to myself?
When I know that you're doubting, you're tired of trying
[Chorus]
Up on that rooftop
You told me that you don't care (you told me that you don't care)
Turn all the lights off
So where do we go from here? (where do we go from here?)
Up on that rooftop
You told me I'm wasting tears
Turn all the lights off (Turn all the lights off)
So where do we go from here?
[Post-Chorus]
Where do we go? Where do we go?
Whe-whe-where do we go from here?
Whe-whe-where do we go, where do we go
Whe-whe-where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
[Outro]
Up on that rooftop
Up on that rooftop
Rooftop was written by Sweaterbeats & Cassandra Ströberg & Clara Mae.
Rooftop was produced by The Union (Producer).
In her “Behind the Lyrics” video Mae reviled that the song was originally written for Sweater Beats but she took it to her project because it “meant so much” to her.
She also explained that the chorus of the song was originally the pre-chorus.
