Girl On The Roof Lyrics

Is she jumping? What an evening
To admire the view
Flower in her hair
Girl on the roof

I can see her, I believe her
So would I say something true
Love is in the air
Girl on the roof

In the balance of the silence
From the street down below
Crowding is everywhere
Dying to know

I can see her, I believe her
Is she asking for proof
Love is in the air
Girl on the roof

Love is in the air
What a perfect day to find
Nothing could compare
What a waste to turn and wave goodbye

Is she thinking of the meaning
That we all want to know
Crowd is gonna stare
Girl doesn't show

I can see her, I believe her
But could I say something new
Love is in the air
Girl on the roof

Love is in the air
What a perfect day to find
Nothing could compare...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Song is about a girl who is the roof about to commit suicide. She is thinking about it , but delaying hence forth waving goodbye, making the crowd belo wonder if she will do it. The song narrator is wondering whether she is doing it to gain attention or for proof from the person who loves her that he really does and thus will rescue her from the suicide (attempt).My guess is she really does not want to end her life. Also song narrator cannot believe what she wants to do as he himself is in love (love is in the air) and he cannot understand the senseless act she is about toi commit. He would not do it coz he is in love or else he is in love with her.
