Carbon Leaf - Raise the Roof lyrics

Raise the roof, that I might see the stars
To gain wisdom
To see things for what they are
Please, I need proof

Dance till you fall love till you die
Shut your mouth raise the roof

Trapped in the snare with too
Much dreaming to bear
Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic
Inspired but tired
I run this wide-open course
Like the sagging spirit of an older horse

Dance till you fall love till you die
Shut your mouth raise the roof
Peel back this backdrop
Like the lids from my eyes
Put you in plain view, let me visualize
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it's real

Dance till you fall love till you die
Shut your mouth raise the roof

The wisest advice to me that I didn't reach
Was to lock up the heart
But keep the key within reach
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it's real

Dance till you fall love till you die
Shut your mouth raise the roof
