Intro

X2

We met on a rooftop, Swimming up for oxygen

It overlooked the sunset, But we faced the other way

 It was cold but her voice was shot, And downstairs they were packing it in

 So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, As they rose above the bay

And I was gonna bring her apples, When she was in need

After I’d sucked the cyanide from the seeds, I was gonna bring her apples,

There were complaints and the police came, But we left no shred of proof

And as we leapt from roof to roof, She said she’d be my alibi

 And when I said I’d do the same, She just smiled and said she wasn’t the type to get caught

But when I kissed her forehead it was hot, And she was shivering against the skyline

And now I’m gonna bring her apples, When she’s in need

After I suck the cyanide from the seeds, I’m gonna bring her apples

(Instrumental break)

I’m not trying to change you

I’m not trying to change you

I’m not trying to change you

I was never trying to change you

We met on a rooftop, Swimming up for oxygen

It overlooked the sunset, But we faced the other way

 It was cold but her voice was shot, And downstairs they were packing it in

 So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, As they rose above the bay

I’ll have extra air for you , Any time you start to drown

I’ll keep you warm when the sunrise isn’t reaching through your door

 I’ll give you a number to count up to, When we’re touching down

I’ll bring you apples when your throat is sore
