Stop this runaway car
I wanna get off I wanna go back
If I left you there then I left it all behind
'Cause all I'm feeling now
Is the weight of the world bearing down
I don't have answers for any of my questions anymore
'Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all along
I might have been standing on the top of the world
What a difference a day makes
I turned and watched you walk away
I might have been standing on the top of the world
'Cause I might have been wrong
Tail lights and a seat on the right
And a losing fight into the night
Oh all the wild horses running down my veins
It's one word and the softest eyes
You say you'll wait and i go hide
If you're still there then you're still all I want
'Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all along
I might have been standing on the top of the world
What a difference a day makes
I turned and watched you walk away
I might have been standing on the top of the world
'Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been wrong
I might have been wrong
Might have been, might have been
Stop this runaway car
If we're not that gone and we're not that far
If I left you there then I left it all behind
'Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all along
I might have been standing on the top of the world
What a difference a day makes
I turned and watched you walk away
I might have been standing on the top of the world
Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been wrong
I might have been wrong
Might have been, might have been
I might have been wrong
