i am sitting on the rooftop
waiting for a star to fall
i'm searching through the milky way
one of these days life will die
we are sitting in your bedroom with the curtains down
just to pretend the sun still shines
we're dancing in the city lights
it's long ago but i recall
one of these days life will die
one of these days life will die
a time when the sky was bright
the moon and the stars were shining so light
now when it's all blacked out
i'm grabbing my flashlight
shine through the dark night
one of these days life will die
