"The Ladder" by Sierra Swan
Ladyland, 2006.
Verse 1:
I’ve been spending so much time
Growing scared and weak
All the days were falling behind me
Round and round and up and down
My damn head is spinning
This is if someone else is steering
I have wasted so much time
Holding back jus to stay in line
I’ve been walking down the ladder
Chorus:
Remember when you’re young
Remember how much fun
Remember we’re not so damn crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I’ve been getting sadder with each step of the ladder
Verse 2:
Yesterday will feed tomorrow
So today must brighten
How I wish it was that easy
Justify how you growing stronger
Sacrificing everything you wanted
Just because you stopped believing
Somehow I misplaced it all
With being so insecure cause
I’ve been walking down the ladder
Chorus:
Remember when you’re young
Remember how much fun
Remember we’re not so damn crazy
And nothing ever frightened me
I’ve been getting sadder with each step of the ladder
Bridge:
Gee, I’m happy
Dancing on the most of things that scared me
Putting my hands into these pockets I find
Gee, I’m willing
To pass away this guilty feeling
Putting my footstep in this time of my life
