Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bare feet on the tar and gravel Takeout boxes by the stairwell door You laugh, say we should've brought a blanket I say this cracked old roof is what blankets are for [Chorus] Rooftop sunsets, cheap wine in a jar Counting blessings like they're falling stars Nothing fancy, just the amber sky And your head on my shoulder while the day drifts by If this is all we get, I think it's more than enough Rooftop sunsets, simple kind of love [Verse 2] Smoke curls slow from the neighbor's porch Sirens fade into a distant hum We trade stories 'bout the jobs we hated And the ones we'll maybe do when our big break comes (someday) [Chorus] Rooftop sunsets, cheap wine in a jar Counting blessings like they're falling stars Nothing fancy, just the amber sky And your head on my shoulder while the day drifts by If this is all we get, I think it's more than enough Rooftop sunsets, simple kind of love [Bridge] Maybe it's the way the light Turns the brick to copper, your eyes to fire Maybe it's the way this quiet Makes a whole wide world feel a little bit lighter (oh) [Chorus] Rooftop sunsets, cheap wine in a jar Counting blessings like they're falling stars Nothing fancy, just the amber sky And your hand in mine while the night comes on If this is all we get when the daylight's done Rooftop sunsets, that's my favorite one
