Jonas Alaska Roof Came Down Lyrics

I guess I just didn't get it at first
Guess my heart wasn't ready to burst
I guess I've always felt branded and cursed
Drawn to tragedy

My mind shut down and I cut of my hair
I turned around, there was nobody there
But a sweet little sound made it through to my ear
Could it really be?

CHORUS:
I waited for you so long
It scared me half to death
I tried to sing along
But I was all out of breath
Now the roof came down on me
I thought I would die
The roof came down, and I could see the sky

Then I could see through the blindfold of fear
I started to hear everywhere
I had to be near you, I had to be there
There were nowhere else to go
Never before had I felt such a thing
You found the door to my everything
I kicked it to the floor and it made my heart sing
Songs I didn't know

CHORUS:
I waited for you so long
It scared me half to death
I tried to sing along But I was all out of breath
Now the roof came down on me
I thought I would die
The roof came down, and I could see the sky

I guess I'm not quite gettin' it still
I'm starting to think I never will
But that's alright, baby, I'll love you until
I'm a pile of bones

I'm gonna build us a wall without any gate
I'm buildin' it tall, before it's too late
And I'll block out all the poisonous things
I'll lay down every stone

CHORUS:
I waited for you so long
It scared me half to death
I tried to sing along
But I was all out of breath
Now the roof came down on me
I thought I would die
The roof came down and I could see the sky

I saw the sun come up
I saw the full moon rise
I heard the record stop in your little cry
I saw the sun go down
I saw the seagull fly
I saw the sleepy town
Yeah, I could see the sky
Yeah, I could see the sky
