[Intro] [wind on an empty rooftop, rain stopped] [a single soft triplet on the hi hat, alone] [no choir] [Verse 1] [voice bare, close, broken and calm] Top of the world nobody here railing and the wind city real clear [short silence] Spire went dark right above my head light just out like it went to bed [Pre-Chorus] Hum stopped too quiet all around (quiet) guess he quit guess he lay down [Chorus] I was here first (here first) touched the top, home free ready or not nobody came for me I'll sit right here rest my hands a while let him come and see I beat him by a mile [Verse 2] Unwrapped my hands let the amber go laid it on the ledge nice and slow [short silence] Hummed a little tune just to fill the air [short wordless hum] always was mine always was there [Bridge] [no drums, nothing, bare voice very close] Ain't nobody proved me so ain't nobody proved me second [long silence] [Chorus] [single soft triplet returns, voice barely there] I was here first (here first) touched the top, home free ready or not nobody came for me I'll sit right here rest my hands a while let him come and see I beat him by a mile [Outro] [triplet stops] I was here first [hard cut to total silence, no fade, no reverb tail]
