Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking down the same old roads
but an these stories are getting old
now I've been trying to cleanse my soul
oh darling oh
it's the kind of thing you gotta do alone

Down this road we're marching now
oh yeah yeah-e-e-an
signing alone my favourite song
life is hard, If I'm tell you the truth
but no no, darling no
but I don't care
as once I'm close to you

we'll be standings on the rooftops, yeah
watching as the sun drops
every word I say to you is true
signing songs at midnight,
to finish off the great night,
darling you could find me close to you

what's the rush?
darking take your time
oh ooh
I'll be yours and you'll be mine, oh
and I don't know but girl you're one of a kind
oh oh darling oh
woman like you these days is hard to find

we'll be standings on the rooftops, yeah
watching as the sun drops
every word I say to you is true
signing songs at midnight,
to finish off the great night,
darling you could find me close to you

we'll be standings on the rooftops, yeah
watching as the sun drops
every word I say to you is true
signing songs at midnight,




to finish off the great night,
darling you could find me close to you
