We were leaving
For the stratosphere
Easy breathing
In your atmosphere
Oh, how could I?
How could I ever forget last year?

When we were on top
When we were on top of the world
When we were on top
When we were on top of the world
The seasons all stopped
The axis forgot to twirl
When we were on top
On top of the world

Sent me flying
Like a rocketeer
Without trying
Now I'm way up here
Oh, how could I?
How could I ever forget last year?

When we were on top
When we were on top of the world
When we were on top
When we were on top of the world
The seasons all stopped
The axis forgot to twirl
When we were on top
On top of the world

I can't see my house from here
But I can breathe the air so clear
I can't see my house from here
But I can breathe the air so clear
And how could I ever forget last year?

When we were on top
When we were on top of the world
When we were on top
When we were on top of the world
The seasons all stopped
The axis forgot to twirl
When we were on top

On top of the world
On top of the world
Oh, mmhm, on top
