25 Seconds
Outcomes a shadow in the dark
A little hand reaching
out
for the stars
Up on the roof
she makes the rain
She knows what she wants
and there's that
cause she's fading
away
Walk on the roof
above the city
Look down at everything
so pretty
They can all wait
to take a sign
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
Up on the roof
time doesn't matter
I'm gonna find
my magic ladder
Take me away
from all this
madness of today
Oh, take me away
from this life

I'm gonna be alone
25 seconds
the lights are turning red
25 seconds

Feels like they're trying
to drive right through my head
I'm not gonna be alone
The telephone rings
but the lines are dead
Can't even remember
where I left my bed
Where I left my bed


25 seconds ago I wished for America
Light as a feather in the wind
A silver reflection on her skin
Up on her roof she likes to play
Without turning back she takes her chance and flies away
Walk on the roof above the city
Look down and everything's so pretty
They can all wait today cause I'm not coming down
Up on the roof, time doesn't matter
I'm gonna find my magic ladder
Take my hand and we'll fly away

Take me away from all this madness of today
Take me away
25 seconds ago I wished for America
25 seconds ago I wished for you
25 seconds with you
25 seconds a day with you
