Up on the Roof
Escaping Life's Turmoil: Up on the Roof's Serene Refuge
Lyrics
When this old world starts a getting me down
Expressing a sense of being overwhelmed by the challenges of life.
And people are just too much for me to face
Feeling unable to cope with the demands and behaviors of people.
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
Seeking solace by ascending to a higher place, both physically and metaphorically.
And all my cares just drift right into space
Finding relief as worries and troubles dissipate into the open space.
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
Describing the peaceful and serene atmosphere on the roof.
And there the world below can't bother me
Emphasizing the escape from the troubles of the world below.
When I come home feeling tired and beat
Returning home exhausted, seeking rejuvenation.
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
Finding refreshment in the clean and pleasant air above.
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
Escaping the chaotic and competitive nature of daily life.
That would and all that rat-race noise down in the street
Avoiding the stressful noise associated with urban living.
On the roof, the only place I know
Highlighting the roof as a unique and special place for escape.
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Emphasizing the simplicity of achieving one's desires on the roof.
At night the stars put on a show for free
Noting the beauty of the night sky and its free display of stars.
Darling, you can share it all with me
Inviting a loved one to share the beauty and tranquility.
Right smack dab in the middle of town
Contrasting the trouble-free paradise found in the midst of a bustling town.
I found a paradise that's troubleproof
Reinforcing the idea that the roof provides a perfect escape.
And if this world starts getting you down
Suggesting that the roof is a refuge when the world becomes burdensome.
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Indicating that there's enough space for a companion on the roof.
Up on the roof
Reiterating the idea of finding peace and escape on the roof.
