lyrics

Will you always have me like I do you ?
I engraved me name on the pillars of the arch
So that when I left I'd always leave me mark
Everything I am I owe to you

The soundtrack of the summer gettin' played by the sirens
We found laughs in the middle of the violence
See I’d be nothing without you
I find comfort when I'm feelin' blue
Wrapped in the curves of your avenue

I’m talking long days, summer nights
Rolling over to the next
Blue lights through my window
Help me to calm down
Always feel at home with you
Could never feel alone with you

No one understands how it feels to be with you
And I'm never looking back no more
They said we had nothing but we had it all
Shouting up the flats from the roof tops
Shouting up the flats from the rooftops
I engraved me name on the pillars of the pillars of the arch

So will you always have me? have me like I do you
I wanna share your flaws and I wanna share your truths
Remember I was younger and you were shining through
I wanted to fit in so I had to bury you

I was never one to take instruction I was never one to fall in love
Sometimes I can lack direction I feel I'm never good enough
But I still find comfort when I’m feeling blue
Wrapped in the curves of your avenue

I’m talking long days, Summer nights
Rolling over to the next
Blue lights through my window
Help me to come down
Always feel at home with you
Could never feel alone with you

No one understands how it feels to be with you
And I'm never looking back no more
They said we had nothing but we had it all
Shouting up the flats from the roof tops

No one understands how it feels to be with you
And I'm never looking back no more
We coulda had nothing but we had it all
Shouting up the flats from the roof tops
I engraved me name on the pillars of the pillars of the arch

Every time I hear them call my name
Something bout it makes me feel a way, I feel a way
For all the times I said I'd move away
I'm thinkin' Gemma were you going insane?

We'll be shouting up the flats from the rooftops
We'll be shouting up the flats from the rooftops
