Top of the World

I've tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something

I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for something

Now take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world,
I'm on top of the world
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile
Been holding it in for a while
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world.

Might Drag You Down

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found.

Distance

Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.

Edge of Desire

Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see.
I want you so bad, I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me.

- John Mayer, "Edge of Desire"
