Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World

"On top of the world" lyrics

On top of the world

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, ‘ay
I'm on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take it 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.

Now take it in but don't look down.

‘Cause I'm on top of the world, ‘ay
I'm on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world

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, ‘ay
I'm on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world
