The Ladder

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 damn 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 damn crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I've been getting sadder
With each step of the ladder
Yesterday will defeat tomorrow
So today must brighten
How I wish it was that easy
Oh, just to find how you're growing stronger
We're sacrificing everything you wanted
Just because you stopped believing
Somehow I misplaced it all
With builder's sand and sudden calls
I've been walking down the ladder
Remember when you're young
Remember how much fun
Remember when I was so damn crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I've been getting sadder
With each step of the ladder
And gee, I'm happy
Dancing among 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
Remember when you're young
Remember how much fun
Remember when I was so damn crazy
And Remember when you're young
Remember how much fun
Remember when I was so damn crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I've been getting sadder
With each step of the ladder
