Top Of The World
Carl & Pearl Butler Lyrics

Two seasons down since you ran away
It has been two complete seasons since you left me

I counted back by seconds right down to the day
I meticulously calculated every second leading up to the exact day you left

I checked the papers, searched the stations, not a trace
I thoroughly examined newspapers and searched through various stations, but there was no sign of you

I traveled to every corner just to see your face
I journeyed to every corner of the world in the hope of catching a glimpse of your beautiful face

On top of the world
Feeling a sense of euphoria and bliss

Just hoping to see you
Hoping to reunite with you

I'd come back down to earth right now
I would willingly give up my happiness to return to reality

If I knew you'd be there too
If only I had the assurance that you would also be there

I found a trail of footprints out across the snow
I discovered a path of footprints stretching across the snowy landscape

I saw a ship in the distance but where did it go?
I spotted a ship in the distance, but I have no idea where it disappeared to

It's hard to hold my head up without you around
It is difficult to maintain my optimism and confidence without your presence

But even if I fall I'll still keep my ear to the ground
Even if I face disappointment, I will remain attentive and hopeful

Run away, run away baby
You chose to escape and run away from our relationship

Here today, gone forever maybe
You were with me in the present, but I fear you might be gone from my life forever

Out of sight, out of mind lately
Since you've been absent, you have been out of sight and out of my thoughts

Gone astray thinking it would save me
I made the mistake of believing that your absence would somehow benefit me

Far away and feeling even farther apart
You are physically distant, and our emotional connection feels even more distant

A canyon pushing on the walls of my heart
The emptiness and longing for you is like a deep canyon pressing against the walls of my heart

I think I heard the sirens calling out my name
I believe I heard your voice desperately calling out for me

I know it was your voice I think I'm going insane
I am certain it was your voice, but it's driving me to the verge of madness

If I knew you'd be there too
If only I had the certainty that you would also be present
