Up on the Roof
Escape to Serenity: Up on the Roof Lyrics Unveiled
Lyrics
When this old world starts getting me down
When the challenges of the world become overwhelming and disheartening
And people are just too much for me to face
Facing people becomes too difficult for the speaker
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
The speaker metaphorically climbs to a high place, seeking solace
And all my cares just drift right into space
All worries and concerns are left behind and forgotten
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
The roof is described as a peaceful and serene escape
And there the world below don't bother me
The troubles of the world below don't disturb the speaker on the roof
So when I come home feeling tired and beat
Returning home exhausted, the speaker seeks refuge on the roof
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
Escaping to where the air is refreshing and pleasant
I get far away from the hustling crowds
Getting away from the noisy and competitive urban life
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Avoiding the stressful environment of the rat race on the streets
On the roof that's the only place I know
The roof is the speaker's exclusive retreat
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Wishing is sufficient to make things happen on the roof
Up on the roof, up on the roof
Reiteration of the peaceful escape provided by the roof
At night the stars put on a show for free
Nighttime on the roof is described as a captivating and free celestial display
And darling you can share it all with me
Inviting a loved one to share in the beauty of the stars
I keep telling you right smack dab in the middle of town
The speaker emphasizes finding an idyllic place in the midst of urban chaos
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
A trouble-proof paradise has been discovered
So if this world starts getting you down
If the world becomes burdensome, the roof offers respite
There's room enough for two up on the roof, up on the roof
The roof is spacious enough for two, reinforcing the idea of shared tranquility
