On Top Of The World
Yearning for Lost Love: "On Top of the World
Lyrics
Two seasons down since you ran away
Two seasons have passed since you left.
I counted back by seconds right down to the day
I meticulously counted time until the exact day.
I checked the papers, searched the stations, not a trace
I searched newspapers and stations but found no sign of you.
I traveled to every corner just to see your face
I traveled extensively hoping to find you.
On top of the world
Feeling elated and successful.
Just hoping to see you
Desiring to catch a glimpse of you.
I'd come back down to earth right now
I would return to reality immediately.
If I knew you'd be there too
If I knew you'd be there too.
If I knew you'd be there too
-I found a trail of footprints out across the snow
Discovering traces of your path in the snow.
I saw a ship in the distance but where did it go?
Spotting a ship in the distance but uncertain of its destination.
It's hard to hold my head up without you around
Struggling to maintain composure in your absence.
But even if I fall I'll still keep my ear to the ground
Remaining attentive and connected even through difficulties.
On top of the world
Feeling triumphant and optimistic.
Just hoping to see you
Hoping for a sight of you.
I'd come back down to earth right now
Willing to return to reality if you were present.
If I knew you'd be there too
If I knew you'd be there too.
If I knew you'd be there too
-Run away, run away baby
Encouraging someone to escape or flee.
Here today, gone forever maybe
Suggesting someone's presence might be temporary or fleeting.
Out of sight, out of mind lately
Implying that someone is not in thoughts or memory lately.
Gone astray thinking it would save me
Feeling lost, believing separation would help.
Far away and feeling even farther apart
Physically distant and emotionally disconnected.
A canyon pushing on the walls of my heart
Feeling emotionally constrained or restricted.
I think I heard the sirens calling out my name
Hearing a metaphorical warning, possibly feeling guilty.
I know it was your voice I think I'm going insane
Sensing hallucinations, attributing them to the absent person.
On top of the world
Feeling triumphant and optimistic (repeated).
Just hoping to see you
Hoping for a sight of you (repeated).
I'd come back down to earth right now
Willing to return to reality if you were present (repeated).
If I knew you'd be there too
If I knew you'd be there too (repeated).
On top of the world
Feeling triumphant and optimistic (repeated).
Just hoping to see you
Hoping for a sight of you (repeated).
I'd come back down to earth right now
Willing to return to reality if you were present (repeated).
If I knew you'd be there too
If I knew you'd be there too (repeated).
If I knew you'd be there too
