Lyrics

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 of time is left for you, you, you, you
I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps movin'
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
I've been paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Holding it in for a while, hey
Take you with me if I can
I've 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, well
Then again, I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for something
Take it in but don't look down
I'm on top of the world, hey
I'm on top of the world, hey
Waiting on this for a while now
I've been paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Been holding it in for a while, hey
I can take you with me if I can
I've been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
Oh, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh, oh-whoa
'Cause I'm on top of the world, hey
I'm on top of the world, hey
Waiting on this for a while now
I've been paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Holding it in for a while, hey
Take you with me if I can
I've been dreaming of this since a child, are you ready, Las Vegas?
I'm on top of the world, hey
I'm on top of the world, hey
Waiting on this for a while now
I've been paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Holding it in for a while, hey
I can you with me if I can
I've been dreaming of this since a child, c'mon
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up, 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, you hit the ground
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
Waiting on this for a while now
I've been paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, hey
Been holding it in for a while, hey
I can take you with me if I can
I've been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
