When You're On Top - The Wallflowers

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

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

I'm falling 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 want to wake up / And just start running

Into a ditch / Or straight up a mountain

I want to get / What no one's been getting

Make it deeper than hell / Or make it higher than heaven

I need someone / Whose price hasn't been met

When everybody's disappearing / 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 (x2)

When you're on top

Half way up / And over this rainbow

I heard a shot / Fire up from the ghetto

As I drop / I didn't think you'd follow

Just didn't know / The sky was this shallow

I need a garden / Where nothing's forbidden

I need an apple / No one's been eating

I want to start again / Back at the beginning

I had a vision / That this feeling maybe has an ending

Chorus (x2)

When you're on top

I need you now / Much more than ever

I want to start again / Back at the beginning

Chorus (fades)
