Up on the Roof
Escape to Serenity: Up on the Roof's Message of Tranquil Refuge
Lyrics
When this old world starts getting me down
Expressing weariness and frustration with the challenges of the world.
And people are much too much for me to take (up on the roof)
Feeling overwhelmed by people and seeking solace "up on the roof."
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
Physically ascending to a higher place, perhaps symbolizing a retreat from worldly troubles.
And all my cares just drift right into space
Escaping worries as they seem to dissipate into the vastness of space.
On the roof, the only place I know
Highlighting the roof as a special and unique place for solace.
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Emphasizing the power of wishes in creating a positive atmosphere on the roof.
Up on the roof
Reiterating the significance of finding peace and happiness "up on the roof."
When I get home feeling tired and beat
Returning home exhausted and seeking rejuvenation by going "up on the roof."
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
Choosing the rooftop for its refreshing and sweet air as opposed to the noisy streets.
I get away from the hustling crowds
Avoiding the chaos and competition of daily life.
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
Avoiding the stressful and relentless noise of the rat race on the streets.
At night the stars put on a show for free
Describing the beauty of the night sky and the free spectacle of stars.
Darling, you can share it all with me
Inviting a loved one to share in the beauty of the night together.
Let's go, I keep telling you
Encouraging a companion to join in the experience of being "up on the roof."
Right smack dab in the middle of town
Contrasting the peaceful paradise on the roof with the hustle and bustle of town life.
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
Asserting that the discovered rooftop paradise is free from troubles.
And if this world starts getting you down
Suggesting the rooftop retreat as a remedy when the world becomes overwhelming.
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Highlighting the spaciousness of the roof and the invitation for a companion to join.
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Repeating the significance of finding solace "up on the roof."
Come on, baby, Come on, baby, up on the roof
Encouraging a loved one to join in the rooftop experience.
Up on the roof
Reiteration of the invitation to share the rooftop retreat.
