Raise The Roof Lyrics

Raise The Roof lyrics



Carbon Leaf 



Raise the roof, that I might see the stars

To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are

Please, I need proof 



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof 



Trapped in the snare with too much dreaming to bear

Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic

Inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course

Like the sagging spirit of an older horse 



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof 

Peel back this backdrop, like the lids from my eyes

Put you in plain view, let me visualize

Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real 



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof 



The wisest advice to me that I didn't reach

Was to lock up the heart, but keep the key within reach

Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real 



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof
