Going to the Top Songtext

von John Waite

So you're standing in the darkness, with your back against the wall
And your eyes look kind of distant, then I knew, you'd seen it all
It was then that you betrayed me, 'cos I could see right through your gaze
I guess you and I (baby) have seen much better days

You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King
Now you find love's everything

You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well

You could've been somebody, a contender
I guess that chance just passed you by
Now you can't remember who to trust, but I sure wish that you'd try
And nothing gets you nothing, and you get back what you give
You can't hold out much longer, it's time for you to live

You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King
Now you find love's everything

You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah
You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven
And now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah

Good things are gonna find you, though somebody's got to pay
You could always turn your back and walk, but I sure wish that you'd stay

(Solo)

You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven
And your heart ain't gonna stop, and you know I wish you well, these days

You're going to the top, you found somebody special
And your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, and now you're someone special
And I still think of you a lot, and you know I wish you well, yeah
