On Top Of The World
Mindy Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Carefree, just a boy and a girl .
It's likely we're both falling in love,
cause lately we just can't get enough of us.
You and me floating on top of a cloud
singing, singing this song out loud.
Easy learning to float like this,
like it should be.
ohhhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
Sitting on top of the world with you.
ohhhh
ohhhhhhhh
Sitting on top of the world with you.
Falling, falling like a steady rain.
Burning, burning like a perfect flame.
Don't tell me you don't feel this way.
Exactly, exactly the same.
ohhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
sitting on top of the world with you
ohhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
sitting on top of the world with you
ohhhh
ohhhhhhhhhh
sitting on top of the world with you.
ohhhh
ohhhhhhhh
sitting on top of the world with you.
You, me, sitting on top of the world.
Carefree, just a boy and girl.
