Up on the Roof
Escaping Life's Chaos: Discovering Peace Up on the Roof
Lyrics
Singing, singing, singing, singing, yeah
Singing, expressing joy or comfort through singing.
One more time, boy
Encouragement to repeat the singing, reinforcing the positive feeling.
When this whole world starts getting me down
Feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of the world.
And people are just too much for me to face
People are difficult to deal with, contributing to the burden.
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
Seeking solace by ascending to a higher place (metaphorically or literally).
And all my cares just drift right into space
Casting away worries and finding relief in the elevated space.
On the roof's the only place I know
The roof symbolizes a special, comforting place.
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Emphasizing the power of positive thoughts to shape reality.
Up on the roof
The chorus reaffirms the idea of finding peace and escape "Up on the Roof."
When I get home feeling tired and beat
Returning home exhausted, seeking refuge.
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
Escaping to a tranquil space with clean air.
I get away from that hustling crowd
Avoiding the chaotic and competitive urban environment.
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
Avoiding the stress and noise of city life.
At night, the stars put on a show for free
Nighttime brings a beautiful display of stars.
And only you can share it all with me
Sharing the beauty of the night with a significant other.
I keep telling you that right smack dab in the middle of town
Highlighting the surprising location of the paradise in the middle of town.
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
Describing the trouble-free nature of the discovered paradise.
And if this whole world starts getting you down
Suggesting that the roof can be a haven when the world becomes too much.
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Indicating that the comforting space is spacious enough for two.
Up on the roof
Reiteration of finding solace and peace "Up on the Roof."
Come on, come on, come on
Encouragement for a loved one to join and share the peaceful experience on the roof.
Come on, come on, come on
-Come on, babe, come on, baby, up on the roof
-Come on, baby, come on, baby, up on the roof
-Come on, baby, come on, baby, up on the roof
-Come on, babe, come on, babe, up on the roof
-Up on the roof
