Lyrics: Kate Voegele. Louder Than Words. Top Of The World.


Out of the corner - Of my tired eyes, I?m not surprised
It?s now a quarter past too late, - Nothing new, it?s no case out of the ordinary
I?m so very wrapped around your finger this time - Oh, won?t you give me awhile to unwind?

You?re on top of the world - And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love?s tough, are you sure? - Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?- you're on top of the world

You?re like a splinter - Just killing me slowly from inside
The piercing winter is so much - More inviting than the stare in your eyes
One heavy cinderblock, like a rock - You?re just staying, weighing, breaking me down
I?m crying out, you don?t hear a sound

You?re on top of the world - And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love?s tough, are you sure? - Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?

Hope I?ve lost enough to win you back your prize - To put you up sky high, get your pride back to its familiar place
And I hope it?s cost enough of my dear, precious time - To lift your spirits, spark your smile

You?re on top of the world - And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love?s tough, are you sure? - Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?-

You?re on top of the world - And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love?s tough, are you sure? - Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?- don't that make you the fool?- You're on top of the world - sitting on top of the world - on top of the world - sitting on top of the world
