Lyrics
Three of us on the fire escape Climbing up in the dark Rusty ladder, shaky steps Sneakers leaving marks Bag of chips and a broken speaker Tar paper under our feet The whole town sleeping underneath us Nobody else on the street Wait for it, wait for it The sky is turning grey Wait for it, wait for it Here comes the day Hey! Catch the sun! Catch the sun! Rooftop at dawn and we're not done Hey! Catch the sun! Catch the sun! We stayed up all night and we won Orange on the water tower Gold on every wall Shout it at the morning Shout it loud for all Dave brought a thermos of coffee It tastes like a dirty sock Mia has a kazoo And she plays it on the block Pigeons give us dirty looks We wave and say good day First bus rolling down below Taking the world away Wait for it, wait for it The sky is turning grey Wait for it, wait for it Here comes the day Hey! Catch the sun! Catch the sun! Rooftop at dawn and we're not done Hey! Catch the sun! Catch the sun! We stayed up all night and we won Orange on the water tower Gold on every wall Shout it at the morning Shout it loud for all I'm tired and I'm happy My ears are ringing, too Nothing here is special But I'm here with you And you And you Hey! Catch the sun! Catch the sun! Rooftop at dawn and we're not done Hey! Catch the sun! Catch the sun! We stayed up all night and we won Orange on the water tower Gold on every wall Shout it at the morning Shout it loud for all Hey! Catch the sun! Hey! Catch the sun! Good morning!
