I've been spending so much time
Growing scared and weary
All the days have fallen behind me
Round and round
And up and down
My d*** head is spinning
It's as if someone else is steering
I have wasted so much time
Holding back just to stay in line
I've been walkin' down the ladder
Remember when you're young
Remember how much fun
Remember when I was so d*** crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I've been getting sadder with each step of the ladder
Yesterday will feed tomorrow
So today must brighten
How I wish it was that easy
Oh justifying how you're growing stronger
While sacrificing everything you wanted
Just because you stopped believin'
Somehow I misplaced it all
With bitterness and uncertain calls
I've been walkin' down the ladder
Remember when you're young
Remember how much fun
Remember when I was so d*** crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I've been getting sadder with each step of the ladder
Gee I'm happy dancing amongst the things that scare me
Putting my hands into these pockets I find
And gee I'm willing to pass away these guilty feelings
Putting a footstep in this time of my life
I have wasted so much time
Holding back just to stay in line
I've been walkin' down the ladder
CHORUS 2x
Growing scared and weary
All the days have fallen behind me
Round and round
And up and down
My d*** head is spinning
It's as if someone else is steering
I have wasted so much time
Holding back just to stay in line
I've been walkin' down the ladder
Remember when you're young
Remember how much fun
Remember when I was so d*** crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I've been getting sadder with each step of the ladder
Yesterday will feed tomorrow
So today must brighten
How I wish it was that easy
Oh justifying how you're growing stronger
While sacrificing everything you wanted
Just because you stopped believin'
Somehow I misplaced it all
With bitterness and uncertain calls
I've been walkin' down the ladder
Remember when you're young
Remember how much fun
Remember when I was so d*** crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I've been getting sadder with each step of the ladder
Gee I'm happy dancing amongst the things that scare me
Putting my hands into these pockets I find
And gee I'm willing to pass away these guilty feelings
Putting a footstep in this time of my life
I have wasted so much time
Holding back just to stay in line
I've been walkin' down the ladder
CHORUS 2x
