lyrics

Up the Ladder

You told me you weren’t sorry for anything
and that I owed you a year of your life back
so I start climbing up the ladder again

You’ve tired of trying to catch a falling knife
or pick up a spinning coin before it settles
so you start climbing up the ladder again

I’m not just frayed at the ends
it goes straight on through me
on your drawn and sullen face
the years have been written

I destroyed the last message you wrote to me
though I’d memorized it down to the letter
and I start sliding down the ladder again

I’ll admit I’m damaged, if you will do the same
and we agree that this running joke is relentless
we can start climbing up the ladder again

I’m not just frayed at the ends
it goes straight on through me
on your drawn and sullen face
the years have been written
