To the Top Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh, I know it's not the right time tonight
But I won't move until this stops
Go back to the top (oh)
Back to the top


[Verse 1]
You never belonged to me
Now, I can see the light
That you are
Never good at controlling me
Now I can see the light
Shining, whole
And I know, I know it was blinding you

[Pre-Chorus]
Say, life can be long
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna know it's true
When you say
You gotta make me believe you

[Chorus]
Oh, I know it's not the right time tonight
But I won't move until this stops
Go back to the top (oh)
Back to the top

[Verse 2]
I'm not scared if you run to me
Lost like when you were mine
'Cause you can take what you want from me
Just don't offer me your time

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay, life can be long
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna know it's true
When you say
I want you around
Gotta make me believe you

[Chorus]
Oh, I know it's not the right time tonight
But I won't move until this stops
Go back to the top (oh)
Back to the top

[Chorus]
Oh, I know it's not the right time tonight
But I won't move until this stops
Go back to the top (oh)
Back to the top
[Chorus]
Oh, I know it's not the right time tonight
But I won't move until this stops
Go back to the top (oh)
Back to the top

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

On the Soundcloud description, Lewis wrote:

What is it when you realize that someone isn’t right for you? Or when you find that you do not and can not posses someone entirely? You want someone so bad and it feels like hell.

It’s not like the first time, once loved love evolves, and you no longer have as much control, and it frustrates you. I think because of this feeling we find ourselves constantly wanting to reset, like new years resolutions, like dreaming up moments from the past where the ending flips on its head, like true forgiveness… We just want to say ‘wait wait wait, this went too far in the wrong direction, can we try that again.'
