On Top Of The World
▲Imagine ▲ Dragons▲ Lyrics

If you love somebody
If you have affection for someone

Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
You should communicate your feelings before it's too late

They just may run away from you
The other person may leave unexpectedly

You’ll never know quite when, well
You can't predict when it might happen

Then again it just depends on
It's all contingent on

How long of time is left for you
The duration of your remaining life

I’ve had the highest mountains
I've overcome great obstacles

I’ve had the deepest rivers
I've faced difficult challenges

You can have it all but life keeps moving
Even if you attain everything, life doesn't stop

I take it in but don’t look down
I enjoy the moment without worrying about the future

‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I feel an overwhelming sense of achievement

Waiting on this for a while now
I've been anticipating this moment for some time

Paying my dues to the dirt
I've worked hard and persevered to reach this point

I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
I've been looking forward to feeling happy

Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
I've been suppressing my emotions until now

Take you with me if I can
I want to share my success with you

Been dreaming of this since a child
I've had this aspiration since I was young

I’ve tried to cut these corners
I've attempted to find an easier path

Try to take the easy way out
I've sought an effortless solution

I kept on falling short of something
I didn't meet a certain standard or goal

I coulda gave up then but
I could have given up, but

Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
But I didn't, because

I’ve traveled all this way for something
I've come a long way to reach my goal

And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
I understand that it's difficult when you're facing defeat

And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
It's challenging to recover from a setback

Get up now, get up, get up now
Stand up and keep going

I’m on top of the world
I feel successful and accomplished
