Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know how I want to go.
Spin through the warm air,
To a thousand feet below.
The top of the world's the place
Where the canyons fall below,
And you can see from the there
To the depths of your soul.
I'm not there yet.
Not weak enough yet.
I'll keep paying my bills.
If this is as hard as it gets
On top of the world.
On top of the world.
Walk up to the edge,
And the silence fills your head.
You'll find right there
If you will lead or just be led.
I'm not there yet.
Not weak enough yet.
Don't flatter me now.
I'm not there yet.
Not weak enough yet.
Don't forgive all my sins.
If this is as hard as it gets.
I'm not there yet.
Not weak enough yet.
Keep my name in your book.
