I've been spending so much time

Growing scared and weary

All the days are falling 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 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 Yesterday will feed tomorrow

So today must brighten

How I wish it was that easy Oh, just to find how you're growing stronger

While sacrificing everything you wanted

Just because you stopped believing Somehow I misplaced it all

With [Incomprehensible]

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 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 Oh, I have wasted so much time

Holding back just to stay in line

I've been walking down the ladder Remember when you're young

Remember how much fun

Remember when I was so damn crazy Remember when you're young

Remember how much fun

Remember when I was so damn crazy

Nothing ever frightened me I've been getting sadder

With each step of the ladder
