starting off it was better than this
i know it hurts but do you like to pretend
that you can just let go
of the grip that you hold so tight
cuz they can tell by the look in your eye
they're down this travelled road
theres a need for a change
a need to feel the wings
to feel free
like the weight's gone off my shoulders
from the top of the world
and i can finally breathe
and do you feel like me
having been through what i've been through
cuz from the top of the world
is where you can finally see
it's safe to just let go
slow it down to re-capture the words
what you're hearing taught you what to learn
they don't care that you can't stop shaking
just understand you are right from now
see what you mean and make your way out
cuz you are down a dead end road
if things don't change, and go your way
to feel free
like the weight's gone off my shoulders
from the top of the world
and i can finally breathe
and do you feel like me
having been through what i've been through
cuz from the top of the world
is where you can finally see
it's safe to just let go
you lost your way home
you lost it all it seems
you lost your way home
better off, better off without it
(understand, understand, understand you are right from now)
we all, we all seem to, we all, we all need
(slow it down, just slow it down)
i feel free
like the weight's gone off my shoulders
from the top of the world
and i can finally breathe
and do you feel like me
having been through what i've been through
cuz from the top of the world
is where you can finally see
it's safe to just let go
