Album: Surfin' On A Backbeat

Rooftop

Lyrics: Michael B., di Lorenzo Pete Smith

Verse 1
It doesn't matter what they say
You do your own thing anyway
even though you contradict yourself
if you need some help it's okay

A little envy brings you doubt
just eat it up and spit it out
no need to make a compromise
if you realize that you're strong enough, oh

Bridge
There's nothing better
than a heartbeat over mind

Chorus
Shout it from the rooftop
here I go
beating on the back door
of your soul
walking on a tightrope
don't you know
takes you higher, takes you higher

Dancing on the sidewalk
letting go
jumping on a fast train
nice and slow
surfing on a backbeat
no control
takes you higher, takes you higher

Verse 2
It doesn't matter what you do
it's only someones point of view
there doesn't have to be an alibi
when you wanna cry ¡®cause you're blue

to spend a little ain't no crime
please yourself from time to time
we all get caught out in the pouring rain
we get wet the same
does it matter, no, no

Bridge
There ain't nothing better
than a heartbeat over mind

Chorus
Shout it from the rooftop
here I go
beating on the back door
of your soul
walking on a tightrope
don't you know
takes you higher, takes you higher

Dancing on the sidewalk
letting go
jumping on a fast train
nice and slow

surfing on a backbeat
no control
takes you higher, takes you higher

C-Part
You hide behind feelings
what's that all about
no need to hold it back
gonna shout it out, shout it out

Chorus
