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
