They say the best in life is never free,
So we just watch it from the sidelines then get up and leave
But looking back on how we used to live

I begin to wonder if we ever really did
But I don't mind, I'm just waiting to draw the line
Feel no pain, in this circle go round again

And climb up on the roof-tops,
It's a rollercoaster game


So, run for cover, here comes the thunder
The skies have opened but we can't decide
So just run for cover, don't stop and wonder

If we'll be waiting on the other side
When all we're left with is a photograph to remember
On just another rainy day


We watch the clock but we're always out of time,
The traffic's slow, so far to go, it's just another sign

We're making promises we'll never keep
And we don't even look for answers we can take defeat
But it's just fine, I'm alright with a compromise

Feel no shame, out of our hands now we're not to blame
Let's climb up on the roof-tops
It's a rollercoaster game
