Top of the World

At the top of the world, no one around
I can see everything, but nothing makes a sound
And I’m as weightless and aimless as the passing clouds
Looking at a long way down

Well you took my hand, and away we flew
To the top of the world, I followed you
But the distance between us grew and grew
Now I’m looking at a long way down

Let me down easy when you let me down
Gravity pulling me pound by pound
As high as I climbed, I’m falling now
So let me down easy when you let me down

I’m higher now than the birds can fly
I could just reach out my hand and touch the sky
And the stars are so close, I can feel their fire
Looking at a long way down

You said what comes around, goes around
By the wind I’m blown, but by the world I’m bound
So I know what goes up must come down
It’s such a long way down

I can’t look forward to anything
When I’m always watching my back
Wondering what I’m missing
I never see what I have

Hoping and wanting and wishing
Dwelling on all I lack
Treating life like a one-man mission
Running from anything that could possibly hold me back

Let me down easy

Let me down easy when you let me down
Gravity pulling me pound by pound
As high as I climbed, I’m falling now
So let me down easy when you let me down
