When You're On Top

Lyrics

I need a bed / That nobody's slept in
 I need some air / Nobody's been breathing
 I need a thought / That I can believe in
 Is this fog / Or is the building really burning
 I need you now / Much more than ever
 I'm making new friends / But none of them matter
 Maybe now / We don't fit together
 But you've got your arms around / No one but strangers
 Chorus:
 I feel fine
 With the sun in my eyes
 The wind in my hair
 I'm falling out of this sky
 I'm doing better than I thought I would
 But nothing's ever as good
 As when you're on top
 I want to wake up / And just start running
 Into a ditch / Or straight up a mountain
 I want to get / What no one's been getting
 Make it deeper than hell / Or make it higher than heaven
 I need someone / Whose price hasn't been met
 When everybody's disappearing / By the minute
 There isn't anyone left / I haven't met yet
 Well I remember / When they hadn't gotten to you yet
 Chorus (x2)
 When you're on top
 Half way up / And over this rainbow
 I heard a shot / Fire up from the ghetto
 As I drop / I didn't think you'd follow
 Just didn't know / The sky was this shallow
 I need a garden / Where nothing's forbidden
 I need an apple / No one's been eating
 I want to start again / Back at the beginning
 I had a vision / That this feeling maybe has an ending
 Chorus (x2)
 When you're on top
 I need you now / Much more than ever
 I want to start again / Back at the beginning
 Chorus (fades)
