Top of the Stairs Lyrics by Scott Mulvahill

Himalayas

2016

[Chorus 1]
I'd rather be a speck in the sky
Than never get the chance, never get the chance to shine
Rather be a speck in the sky
[Verse 1]
I’d rather finish dead last place
Than never get to run, never get to run the race
Rather finish dead place
[Pre-Chorus]
You're living if you're trying
Even if you’re not flying
But standing still is still just dying
[Chorus 2]
I may never make it and I don't care
Gotta keep climbing till I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It's all about steps, not the top of the stairs
[Chorus 1]
I'd rather be a speck in the sky
Than never get the chance, never get the chance to shine
I'd rather be a speck in the sky
[Verse 2]
And I'd rather have you laughing behind my back
Saying what a joke, put your head on the tracks
I'd rather you be laughing behind my back
Than live in your box, too scared to act
[Chorus 2]
I may never make it and I don’t care
Gotta keep climbing till I run out of air
I may never make it and I don’t care
It's all about steps, not the top of the stairs
[Chorus 2]
I may never make it and I don’t care
Gotta keep climbing till I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It's all about steps, not the top of the stairs
[Bridge]
I may never make it and I don't care
I may never make it and I don’t care
[Pre-Chorus]
You're living if you're trying
Even if you're not flying
But standing still is still just dying
[Chorus 2]
I may never make it and I don't care
Gotta keep climbing till I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It's all about steps, not the top of the stairs
[Chorus 2]
I may never make it and I don't care
Gotta keep climbing till I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It's all about steps not the top of the stairs
