When You're on Top Lyrics

Artist: Wallflowers
Album: Red Letter Day

I need a bed
That nobodyâ‚¬â„¢s slept in
I need some air
Nobodyâ‚¬â„¢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
Iâ‚¬â„¢m making new friends
But none of them matter
Maybe now
We donâ‚¬â„¢t fit together
But youâ‚¬â„¢ve got your arms around
No one but strangers

(chorus)
I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When Iâ‚¬â„¢m falling out of this sky
Iâ‚¬â„¢m doing better than I thought I would
But nothingâ‚¬â„¢s ever as good
As when youâ‚¬â„¢re on top

I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
Where no one's been getting
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone
Whose price hasnâ‚¬â„¢t been met
When everybodyâ‚¬â„¢s disappearing
By the minute
There isnâ‚¬â„¢t anyone left
I havenâ‚¬â„¢t met yet
And I remember
When they hadnâ‚¬â„¢t gotten to you yet

(chorus)

(bridge)
Half way up
And over this rainbow
I heard a shot
Fire up from the ghetto
As I drop
I didnâ‚¬â„¢t think youâ‚¬â„¢d follow
Just didnâ‚¬â„¢t know
The sky was this shallow

I need a garden
Where nothingâ‚¬â„¢s forbidden
I need an apple
No oneâ‚¬â„¢s been eatinâ‚¬â„¢
I want to start again
Back at the beginninâ‚¬â„¢
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending.
