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
