Lyrics

I need a bed that nobody's slept in
I need some air nobody's been breathin'
I need a thought that I can believe in
Is this fog or is the building really burnin'?
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 your arms around no one but strangers

I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
We're falling out this sky
I'm doing better than I thought I would
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top

I wanna wake up and just start running
Into a ditch or straight up a mountain
I wanna get what no one's been gettin
Make it deeper then hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone whos press hasn't been mad
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

I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
We're falling out 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
We're falling out 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]

Half way up and over this rainbow
I heard a shot fire up from the games
As I dropped I didnt' 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 that no one's been eatin'
I wanna start again back at the beginning
I had a vision that this feeling maybe has it

I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
We're falling out 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
We're falling out 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]

I need you now...! much more than ever!
I wanna start again back at the beginning!

I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
We're falling out this sky
I'm doing better than I thought I would
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top
