Ladder Lyrics

You just don't stop

You just pop up

Once a month

Don't know how you keep up

It's like you've a hold

On the pulse of my movement

It's been six months

Since the day we got hitched

Last night was a trip out to Italy

Or somethin'

Then when I woke

I went straight to my notes

All over again

I guess I just need you to know

That's a long way down

You're paralyzed by vertigo

I'm grabbing a ladder now

Just watch your step

We had bad luck

That's what I sold myself

We just never synced up

And it was just timing

That halted our movement

I treat that as gospel

I don't weigh the option

That I don't pop up

In your thoughts quite as often

Or worse, not at all

I don't think I could stomach this

I guess I just need you to know

That's a long way down

You're paralyzed by vertigo

I'm grabbing a ladder now

Just watch your step

'Cause I could meet someone

That's borderline perfect

Someone that sees me

And makes this feel worth it but

The pedestal is awfully tall

I would never let you fall

I'm grabbing a ladder now

You owe me nothing

But won't you give me something

I caught you off guard

You were so overwhelmed

I understand

But you never left

My subconscious

You'll probably stop by to see me tonight

So I made this album

'Cause you stayed around

Like those glasses you got me

You followed me across the country

All through my twenties

It's maddening

I guess that's what love does

Yes, I know you're happy with

Someone else

But I needed you to know

'Cause that's a long way down

It's my fault you've had vertigo

So I brought you a ladder

This right here is your ladder

Just watch your step
