[Verse 1]
I'm crawling on the dance floor (Dance floor)
I think I lost my phone
Feeling like a toothache (Toothache)
My face is going numb
I beg a thousand pardons
All my friends are crazy
Hanging from a window (Window)
And all you gotta do is jump

[Chorus]
Come meet me on the roof tonight, girl
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come meet me on the roof tonight
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?

[Verse 2]
I'm hanging with the cholos (Cholo)
Cruising down the strip
Sleeping with a pillow (Don't wake me up, don't wake me up)
Waking up in spit
I'm taking drowning lessons
Secret words and true confessionals (Confessional)
Now, the worst is yet to come

[Chorus]
Come meet me on the roof tonight, girl
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come meet me on the roof tonight
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?

[Bridge]
So meet me where the good times go
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
How high is your low?
As far as I can go

[Chorus]
Come meet me on the roof tonight, girl
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come meet me on the roof tonight
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
