"Falling Off The Roof" lyrics - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

Falling off the roof
Trying to get closer to the stars
And further from the world
Rudely awakened from a dream
Like changing lanes
With a truck in your blind spot

All the time in the world, and the time is ours
Couple minutes late, in a rush
And you never saw the truck, you couldn't stop

Pretend you bet them on the winning one
Pretend you took a chance
And here comes your jackpot

She's on a rocket to the moon
She's gonna leave you all behind
And you'll be sorry soon
Everybody's got a dream
And you can touch the scars
But you can't remember where your wings have gone

Pretend you bet them on the winning one
Pretend you took a chance
And here comes your jackpot

And you could say that it was easy
Not to step to the edge and lean until you fall
And you could say that it was easy
Not to turn the wheel into the wall

Pretend you bet them on the winning one
Pretend you took a chance
And you hit the jackpot

Don't you go too soon
Don't you go too soon
Everybody's had a dream
It sticks to them like a scar
Or a birthmark

Pretend you bet them on the winning one
Pretend you took a chance
And here comes your jackpot

Pretend you bet them on the winning one
Pretend you took a chance
And you hit the jackpot

And you could say that it was easy
Not to turn the wheel into the wall
And you could say that it was easy
Not to walk to the edge and lean until you fall
