[Verse 1]

Sat on the rooftop

Watching the birds flying free

Watching the clouds walk

And watching the rain become the sea

Hearing my love talk

In every breath she ever breathes

Like it was always supposed to be like that

[Verse 2]

But then we broke up (Oh, no)

And she went west and I went east

She got a new boyfriend (Oh, no)

A little too soon if you're asking me

But I've heard that she loves him

A little bit more than she'll ever love me

And it was always supposed to be like that

[Chorus]

I looked to the skyline, I said:

"How many falls until I fly?"

Looked to the old times, I said:

"How many wrongs until I'm right?"

I know it's tough now

'Cause love always, love always is unkind

[Verse 3]

I sat on the rooftop

And I watched the birds flying free

I watched the clouds walk (Oh)

And I watched the rain become the sea

And just for a moment, yeah (Oh)

Just for a moment I felt so free

From all I'm supposed to be

[Chorus]

I looked to the skyline, I said:

"How many falls until I fly?"

Looked to the old times, I said:

"How many wrongs until I'm right?"

I know it's tough now

'Cause love always, love always is unkind
