[Verse 1:]
I climbed a mountain
Not knowing that I had
Thought it was just a road from a to b
I took no protection
Not much of anything
Just went as I was
Looking in windows
And playing songs
And knocking on doors
I was not scared
I just enjoyed the sights
Kept myself to myself
[Chorus 1:]
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was, there I was
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
[Verse 2:]
Everyone says I was lucky to have got there
As not many can
Truth be told I was saved
By the love of a good man
Who came and got me and brought me down
From on up there
And I'd be lying if I didn't say I missed it now and then
But I have no wish to go back there
[Chorus 1:]
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was with all the gods
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
[Bridge:]
People say
What's so special about being back here
With everyone so close?
That's the point
I don't wanna be different
I just want to fit in
[Chorus 2:]
There I was, there I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was with all the gods
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
[Outro:]
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
