Song lyrics
Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything 
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever 
But I'm here now waiting 
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger 
But closer than you think 
"She said just go on to what you 
pretend is your life but 
Please don't die on me" 

Wings won't take me 
Heights don't phase me 
So take a step 
But don't look down 
Take a step 

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall 
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong 
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall 

Perpetual motion the image won't focus 
A blur is all that's seen 
But here in this moment like the eye of a storm 
It all came clear to me 
I found a shoulder to lean on 
An infallible reason to live all by itself 
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved 
And then I ran like hell 

Wings won't take me 
Heights don't phase me 
So take a step 
But don't look down 
Take a step 

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall 
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong 
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall 

I count the times that I've been sorry 
(I know, I know) 
While my conventions slowly drowns 
(I know, I know) 
If there's a time these walls could guard you 
(I know, I know) 
Then let that time be right now 

Now I'm standing on the rooftop 
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall 
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall 
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong 
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall 

Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall) 
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall) 
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall) 
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I love this song. Don't know why.
I had it on repeat for like a week.
The video has awesome meaning, along with the message at the end.
And the singer has multi-colored eyes. Or it looked like it, correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyways, should check it out.

I just heard this song the other and I have to say it's fantastic! (First song I've actually heard from these guys as well - but I'll definately be looking out for more now). The video is incredible too.

"Every action has a reaction"

So obvious, yet so true and usually overlooked.

I hate this song, it's so lame. He's ready to fall yet he doesn't, quit your whinning and fall already.

First off, this song is amazing. One of the best on the CD.

And darknight86 - You need to be shot. One, if you don't like a song, don't rate the lyrics. Two, if you are so stupid as to not see the point of the song, you should be made deaf.

Anyway... BUY THIS CD!

Let me just say that whom ever put the lyrics up for this song was very careless. I recently came onto this website looking for lyrics to this song and there is an obvious mistake. in the 7th stanza it says conventions it is suposed to be compassions so again whom ever wrote the lyrics should be more careful next time this make me extremely annoyed and should be fixed immediately. I am a die hard rise against fan and im surprised no one else has caught that mistake so please whoever can fix it do so immediately thank you and RISE AGAINST IS AMAZING!!
