Lyrics
Top of the World
I'm so far from life I used to know
I'm so high I?ve one place left to go
Look mama, see what I've become
Sometimes I feel I'm flying
Too close to the sun
I?m on top of the world
Top of the world
Do you wanna be me tonight?
Do you wanna be me tonight?
I?m on top of the world
Top of the world
Do you wanna feel free tonight?
Do you wanna feel free tonight?
I?m on top of the world
There's no place that I would rather be
Boyhood dreams now strange reality
Standing here before a thousand friends
Sometimes it?s not so easy
Living through the lens
I?m on top of the world
Top of the world
Do you wanna be me tonight?
Do you wanna be me tonight?
I?m on top of the world
Top of the world
Do you wanna feel free tonight?
Do you wanna feel free tonight?
I?m on top of the world
I've made my mess along the way
Decisions made I'd change a few
Decisions made I'd change a few
But of flesh and bone I'm made
Hey I'm not so strange from you
No I'm not so strange from you
I?m on top of the world
Top of the world
Do you wanna be me tonight?
Do you wanna be me tonight?
I?m on top of the world
Top of the world
Do you wanna feel free tonight?
Do you wanna feel free tonight?
I?m on top of the world
