Hold The Ladder Lyrics

When I was young I thought I could do nothing on my own

When I was dumb I thought I could do everything alone

Turns out that it is somewhere in between

But I'm losing steam and I'd really like to know

Oh I don't need you to lasso the moon

Pull it down and lay it at my feet

No I don't need you to run the races

Or fight the battles for me

But could you have the fire burning when I get home

Pick me up when I'm low

Help me slow down when I'm in overdrive

Could you hold the ladder while I climb?

I didn't know what I was looking for

Turned you away when you knocked at my door

But you seem like the type

Who knows how to build a life without any squeaky floorboards

But I don't need you to lasso the moon

Pull it down and lay it at my feet

No I don't need you to run the races

Or fight the battles for me

But could you have the fire burning when I get home

Pick me up when I'm low

Help me slow down when I'm in overdrive

Could you hold the ladder while I climb?

Oh I would love to take your hand

Oh baby I would love to make you my man

Would you warm me up when my feet get cold

Would you make me feel young when we get old?

Oh I think you could

So I wish you would

But I don't need you to lasso the moon

Pull it down and lay it at my feet

No I don't need you to run the races

Or fight the battles for me

But could you have the fire burning when I get home

Pick me up when I'm low

Help me slow down when I'm in overdrive

Could you hold the ladder while I climb?
