Lyrics

[Chorus] Did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flippin' off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop? Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone [Verse 1] The night was young once, we were the wild ones 'Fore we had to pay attention to the violence Anything could happen, but nothing ever really did I wanted action, she wantеd answers Sunrise with the dеalers and the dancers It takes a whole lot of medicine to feel like a little kid [Chorus] Oh, and did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flippin' off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop? Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone [Verse 2] Who's gonna save you? Who's left to pray to? What's the difference in a breakdown and a breakthrough? I saw her in the moonlight diggin' up the garden bed I wanna hold her until it's over Let her sleep through the morning on my shoulder But there's nothing I can say to her that I ain't already said [Chorus] Did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flippin' off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop? Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top I don't wanna fight with you baby, but I won't leave you alone [Bridge] When your words mean nothin' When the world turns to monochrome And you know she's not bluffin' 'Cause you feel it in your bones You feel it in your bones [Chorus] Oh, and did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flippin' off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop? Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone [Outro] I wanna hold her until it's over I wanna hold her until it's over Oh, I wanna hold her until it's over I wanna hold her I wanna hold her I wanna hold her until it's over I wanna hold her until it's over Oh, I wanna hold her until it's over
