Welcome me home
This is your story now
Act 1, Scene 1
Again, from the top
It's my turn to sit and observe
To witness as your story unfolds
Your room is just the meeting point,
Not the destination
As you took my hand and led me out
Onto your roof, we climbed up to the top
Not afraid of anything
As we learned what love was all about
Dancing on the edge of your rooftop
You're singing all your favorite songs
I don't know the words yet,
But I'll try to sing along
Your confidence is infectious
But I can't shake the thought
We're a long way from the ground
And I can't catch you if you fall
This is exactly how
It was meant to be,
You start to need me less
Im still here to bear witness
Your story presses on
From scene to scene
And fall to fall
As you learn to dance all on your own
We could've talked for hours,
But I said the wrong thing
You fell silent, and in the distance
We could hear the approaching rain
And I wondered if we should come down
While we had the chance
But you said "after rain comes a rainbow"
And you wanted to stay for the view
Dancing on the edge of your rooftop
You're singing all your favorite songs
I don't know the words yet,
But I'll try to sing along
Your confidence is infectious
But I can't shake the thought
We're a long way from the ground
And I can't catch you if you fall
And I'm stuck in slow motion
As you start to lose your grip
Stuck in slow motion
And every time I close my eyes
I see you falling down
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Can you hear me?
Take a breath, I said
Can you hear me?
Stay awake, I need you to breathe
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
I'm standing at the edge of your rooftop
And all your favorite songs feel so wrong
Now I'm staring at the driveway below
Wondering if I fall,
Will you welcome me home?
