From the Rooftop Down - Nada Surf

Looking from our rooftop down

Bright yellow Danish plastic plates

I nearly got pulled out of this but I’m back

First go swim in a woody lake

Back to my room

After a Chaplin film in school

You were reaching down my pants

And Roxanne sounded scary

On my first mission years before

Before sending me out the door

My dad said

«Turn left in third avenue and walk four blocks»

I turned right

And walked a long time

It’s complicated out here

And you know it
