If you love somebody
Better tell them while they're here because
They just may run away from you
 
You'll never know quite 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
 
I take it in but don't look down
 
'Cause I'm on top of the world, eh
I'm on top of the world, eh
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, eh
Been holding it in for a while, eh
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 coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have cause
I've traveled all this way for something
 
I take it in but don't look down
 
'Cause I'm on top of the world, eh
I'm on top of the world, eh
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, eh
Been holding it in for a while, eh
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world.
 
Oh
Oh,oh
Oh
Oh,oh
 
'Cause I'm on top of the world, eh
I'm on top of the world, eh
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, eh
Been holding it in for a while, eh
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming 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
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
Get up now,
Get up,
Get up now.
 
'Cause I'm on top of the world, eh (and i know its hard when your falling down)
I'm on top of the world, eh (and its a long way up when you hit the ground)
Been waiting on this for a while now, (get up now)
Paying my dues to the dirt (get up)
I've been waiting to smile, eh (get up now)
Been holding it in for a while, eh (and i know its hard when your falling down)
Take you with me if I can (and its a long way up when you hit the ground)
Been dreaming of this since a child (get up now, get up, get up now)
I'm on top of the world
