Rooftop Slow Dance

Lyrics
String lights hanging on a rusted railing City hum below us, never failing Speaker on the ledge playing something slow Your hand in my hand, nowhere else to go Tar roof warm from the day's gold sun Skyline blinking like a dozen little ones No one's here to watch us, no one's here to see Just the stars and the steam, you and me Take my hand, take it slow Let the whole wide city go Rooftop slow dance, under the neon skies Rooftop slow dance, stars in your eyes Sway with me, sway with me, let the night unwind Rooftop slow dance, leaving the world behind Sway with me, sway with me, till the morning light Rooftop slow dance, holding on tight Sirens in the distance, but they sound like a song Warm wind whispering that we belong Your head on my shoulder, my cheek on your hair Dancing in our socks like we've no care Water tower watching like an old friend Hope this little moment never ends Dreams on a rooftop, floating up high Two hearts keeping time with the sky Take my hand, take it slow Let the whole wide city go Rooftop slow dance, under the neon skies Rooftop slow dance, stars in your eyes Sway with me, sway with me, let the night unwind Rooftop slow dance, leaving the world behind Sway with me, sway with me, till the morning light Rooftop slow dance, holding on tight Round and round, soft and slow Nothing but the city's glow Round and round, close your eyes Love is a quiet sunrise Rooftop slow dance, under the neon skies Rooftop slow dance, stars in your eyes Sway with me, sway with me, let the night unwind Rooftop slow dance, leaving the world behind Sway with me, sway with me, till the morning light Rooftop slow dance, holding on tight Rooftop slow dance Holding on tight
