Candlelight flickering against the brick (Ooh, baby)
The tension in this room is getting thick (It’s so heavy tonight)
Across the table, you’re playing your part (Mm-hmm, we're so good at this)
But I can feel the pounding of your heart (I feel it through the floor)
Under the linen, hidden from their sight (Don't let 'em see)
Your fingers trace a path into the night (Ooh, you’re taking me there)
Slowly moving upward, grazing my thigh (Don't stop... no)
I have to bite my lip to stifle the cry (I'm trying to be quiet, baby)
(Pre-Chorus)
Do you remember the moments at our spot? (Our secret place)
Where the air gets heavy and the blood runs hot (So hot, so deep)
Your lips on my neck, a velvet burn (A burn I need...)
For a love we never had the right to earn (Why wasn't it us?)
I’m pulling you closer, losing my breath (Hold me tighter)
Caught in a secret that’ll be our death (But I don't care... no)
(Chorus)
Rooftops in the rain, calling out your name (I’m calling, can you hear me?)
Playing with fire while we fan the flame (We’re gonna burn together)
It’s provocative, it’s beautiful, it’s wrong (So wrong, but it feels so right)
But I’ve been waiting for this touch so long (I’ve been waiting a lifetime)
The thunder is masking the sound of our hearts (Let the sky scream for us)
I don't know how to stop what this feeling starts
Just rooftops in the rain (In the silver rain)
Hiding all of this beautiful pain (All this beautiful, forbidden pain)
(Verse 2)
Why couldn’t we have met back when we were free? (Why was the timing off?)
Before there was another for you and for me (He’s waiting at home... yeah)
Now we’re belonging to someone else’s side (While I'm dreaming of you)
While these electric visions have nowhere to hide (No where to go)
Do you think they know by the way that I look? (Can they read my mind?)
Like a woman who’s lived every page of the book (I’m guilty, baby)
The way my skin flushes when you’re standing near (I’m trembling...)
The perfect rush of desire and fear (Ooh, such a dangerous rush)
(Bridge)
(Vocal run: Higher and more desperate)
Let the sky break open, let the clouds spill down (Wash the guilt away)
Let the pouring water wash away this town (Hide us from the world)
Because up here, the rules don't apply (No rules, no laws)
Under the cover of a weeping sky (Let the heavens cry for us)
We’re two strangers in the light of the day (I don't even know you then)
But in this storm, the world just fades away (It fades... it's just us...)
(Outro)
Your hand on my thigh... (Right there, don't move)
Don't stop... (I don't wanna go home)
Do you think they know? (Let 'em wonder)
I don't even care anymore. (I'm yours tonight)
It should have been you. (Should've been you)
It should have been us sooner. (Ten years too late...)
Just the rain... and the rooftops... (Can you hear it falling?)
Keep me right here. (Don't let me go back to him... no... rooftops in the rain...)
