Sitting on the Roof Of the World Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
I climbed a mountain
Not knowing that I had
Thought it was just a road from a to b
I took no protection
Not much of anything
Just went as I was
Looking in windows
And playing songs
And knocking on doors
I was not scared
I just enjoyed the sights
Kept myself to myself
[Chorus 1:]
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was, there I was
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
[Verse 2:]
Everyone says I was lucky to have got there
As not many can
Truth be told I was saved
By the love of a good man
Who came and got me and brought me down
From on up there
And I'd be lying if I didn't say I missed it now and then
But I have no wish to go back there
[Chorus 1:]
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was with all the gods
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
[Bridge:]
People say
What's so special about being back here
With everyone so close?
That's the point
I don't wanna be different
I just want to fit in
[Chorus 2:]
There I was, there I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was with all the gods
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
[Outro:]
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave

‘Sitting on the Roof of the World’ is actually written by my brother, but it just feels so relevant to me. I think that’s the beauty of working with Rollo. He’s the only other person who’s ever written lyrics for my stuff, ‘cause it sort of feels like this extension of my brain … I get really nicely...
