Top of the World

I struggle to climb that hill, but my struggle is never enough

I just don't think that I have what it takes

'Cause every time I gain some ground I just trip on my mistakes

I always fall but try and try but fail

Broken up so deep inside, I just can't handle it all

I close my eyes as the sun beats on my face

Hoping the wind will take control of me and blow me to a better place

I'm at the top of the world floating free

And at the top of the world there's no one who can criticize me

All of the feelings that I always try to hide

Turn sand into mud when they break out from deep inside

The only other sound is a bird singing his song

He's trying to trick me into thinking nothing else can go wrong

But even the sun's wearing a frown

'Cause when you're at the top of the world

There's nowhere left to go

But down

As everything around me comes alive

I look up to the sky and wonder how I will survive

Sometimes I feel like the clouds up there

Always changing who I am, wanting to dissolve into thin air

Now the sky is dark and threatening rain

To wash away my hopes and dreams, and leave me with the pain

Maybe the storm will take me away, too

Because if I left it wouldn't make any difference to you

I'm at the top of the world floating free

And at the top of the world there's no one who can criticize me

All of the feelings that I always try to hide

Turn sand into mud when they break out from deep inside

The only other sound is a bird singing his song

He's trying to trick me into thinking nothing else can go wrong

But even the sun's wearing a frown

'Cause when you're at the top of the world

There's nowhere left to go

But down

When you're at the top of the world

There's nowhere left to go

But down
