I was a mess and you were a prince
We were the sons of a house on fire
It's funny, I guess
Cause we are the same in so many ways
The sun's going down as I'm thinking of you
From so far away

Well, we sat on the roof of that building
With our legs over the side
Staring out across the city
We were fifty stories high
When the cops came, we went running
Through the village and the lights
Baby brother, we were reckless
But we both learned how to fly

It's getting cold, I wanted to call
Sorry to wake you, I guess I forgot
It's so late on the coast
Talk to you soon, yeah I miss you too
You get some rest and I'll call you again
Before the weekend is through

Well, we sat on the roof of that building
With our legs over the side
Staring out across the city
We were fifty stories high
When the cops came, we went running
Through the village and the lights
Baby brother, we were reckless
But we both learned how to fly
Well, we sat on the roof of that building
With our legs over the side
Staring out across the city
We were fifty stories high
When the cops came, we went running
Through the village and the lights
Baby brother, we were reckless
But we both learned how to fly
