On Top of the World

If you love somebody

Better tell them while they're here 'cause

They just may run away from you

You'll never know quite when well

Then again, it just depends on

How long the time is left for you

I've had the highest mountains

I've had the deepest river

You can have it all, but life keeps movin'

Now take it in, but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, ay

I'm on top of the world, ay

Waitin' on this for a while now

Payin' my dues to the dirt

I've been waitin' to smile, ay

Been holdin' it in for a while, ay

Take it with me if I can

Been dreamin' of this since a child

I'm on top of the world

I've tried to cut these corners

Try to take the easy way out

I've kept on fallin' short of somethin'

I coulda gave up then, but

Then again, I couldn't have 'cause

I've traveled all this way for somethin'

I take it in, but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, ay

I'm on top of the world, ay

Waitin' on this for a while now

Payin' my dues to the dirt

I've been waitin' to smile, ay

Been holdin' it in for a while, ay

Take it with me if I can

Been dreamin' of this since a child

I'm on top of the world

Oh-whoa, whoa, oh, oh (I'm on top of the world)

Oh-whoa, whoa, oh, oh (and it's a long way up when you hit the ground)

'Cause I'm on top of the world, ay

I'm on top of the world, ay

Waitin' on this for a while now

Payin' my dues to the dirt

I've been waitin' to smile, ay

Been holdin' it in for a while, ay

Take it with me if I can

Been dreamin' of this since a child

I'm on top of the world

And I know it's hard when you're fallin' down

And it's a long way up when you hit the ground

Get up now, get up, get up now (I'm on top of the world)

And I know it's hard when you're fallin' down

And it's a long way up when you hit the ground

Get up now, get up, get up now

'Cause I'm on top of the world, ay

I'm on top of the world, ay

Waitin' on this for a while now

Payin' my dues to the dirt

I've been waitin' to smile, ay

Been holdin' it in for a while, ay

Take it with me if I can

Been dreamin' of this since a child

I'm on top of the world
