Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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? Oh, 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 From fallin' 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 [Verse 2] I want to wake up and just start runnin' Into a ditch or straight up a mountain I wanna get where no one's been gettin' Make it deeper than Hell or make it higher than Heaven I need someone whose price hasn't been met When everybody's disappearin' 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] I feel fine with the sun in my eyes The wind in my hair From fallin' 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 feel fine with the sun in my eyes The wind in my hair From fallin' 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 When you're on top [Bridge] Halfway up and over this rainbow I heard a shot fired up from the ghettos As I drop, I didn't think you'd follow Just didn't know the sky was this shallow [Verse 3] Oh, I need a garden where nothing's forbidden I need an apple that no one's been eatin' I want to start again back at the beginnin' I had a vision that this feelin' maybe has an endin' [Chorus] I feel fine with the sun in my eyes The wind in my hair From fallin' 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 feel fine with the sun in my eyes The wind in my hair From fallin' 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 When you're on top [Break] I need you now, much more than ever I wanna start again back at the beginning [Chorus] I feel fine with the sun in my eyes The wind in my hair From fallin' 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 feel fine with the sun in my eyes The wind in my hair From fallin' 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
