On Top Of The World
Matt Montgomery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Front of the line, plenty of time
We've waited here for so long
Bags have been packed, take one look back
Smile and wave a goodbye
It's yours, it's mine, the weather is fine
So take a step to the sky

This time we're there
Us on top of the world
So sweet, so fair
We're on top of the world
with no gravity at at all

So pretty in white, dazzles my site
it's been that way all along
Friends are all here, their love so near
voices burst out in song
it's yours, it's mine, the weather is fine
So take a step to the sky

This time we're there
Us on top of the world
So sweet, so fair
We're on top of the world
with no gravity at at all





What was will always be
