If you love somebody, better tell them why they're here cause they just may run away from you You'll never know what went well, then again it just depends on how long your time is left with you I've had the highest mountains, I've had the deepest river, you can have it all but life keeps moving Take it in but don't look down I'm on top of the world, I'm on top of the world, been on this for a while now, paying my dues to the dirt I've been waiting to smile, been holding it in for a while, take you with me as I can, been dreaming of this since a child, I'm on top of the world I've tried to cut these corners, tried to take the easy way out, I kept on falling short of something I could've gave up then but then again I couldn't have cause I've travelled all this way for something Take it in but don't look down I'm on top of the world, I'm on top of the world, been on this for a while now, paying my dues to the dirt I've been waiting to smile, been holding it in for a while, take you with me as I can, been dreaming of this since a child, I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world, I'm on top of the world, been on this for a while now, paying my dues to the dirt I've been waiting to smile, been holding it in for a while, take you with me as I can, been dreaming of this since a child And I know it's hard when you're falling down, and there's a long way up if you think about get up now, get up, get up now And I know it's hard when you're falling down, and there's a long way up if you think about get up now, get up, get up now I'm on top of the world, I'm on top of the world, been on this for a while now, paying my dues to the dirt I've been waiting, and there's a long way up, been on this for a while now, thank you and here I stand Even if I never see your eyes, I'm on top of the world
