I remember the nights
Caught up in dreaming my goodbyes
Watching the door for anything more than an ordinary life

I remember the days
New beginnings on an open page
With something to prove and nothing to lose, not a soul to betray

Here I am on my own

Chorus:
       AbAb
On top of the world,
       Eb MajorEb

The angels were slaves and demons behaved
And everything was alright

I hear the crowds beneath me
I?m wishing they could reach me
But I?m on top of the world
Up here I?m dying alone

Inside the walls of gold, outside of happiness
It?s all been a show, too late to confess
No room for heart and soul, no room for innocence (innocence)
