If you love somebody
Better tell them while 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 of time is left for you
I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
Now, take it in but don't look down
'Cause I'm on top of the world, hey
I'm on top of the world, hey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Been holding it in for a while, hey
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming 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 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
Now, take it in but don't look down
'Cause I'm on top of the world, hey
I'm on top of the world, hey
Been waitin' on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Been holding it in for a while, hey
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
Oh-woah, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-woah, oh-oh
'Cause I'm on top of the world, hey
I'm on top of the world, hey
Waitin' on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Been holding it in for a while, hey
Take you with me if I can
Been dreamin' of this since a child
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
But get up, now, get up, get up, now
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
But get up, now, get up, get up, now
'Cause I'm on top of the world, hey
I'm on top of the world, hey
Been waitin' on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Been holding it in for a while, hey
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
