lyrics

Ladders

A classic story
Boy meets girl and he gives his heart
Tragic, yet luring
When the girl is distant from the start
Alone, yet together
He can't quite figure out his part
In this strange attachment
Never thought her words could be so hard
So hard

She says "Sometimes, I feel like you and I are sharing the same mind"
I say, "I was just going to say" yeah
And in time you'll come to understand that our days are numbered
Our youth will be washed away
Away yeah yeah yeah

CHORUS
Why do you climb so high (Climb so high)?
I wanna reach you
And burn all the ladders behind (Left behind)
Did I mistreat you?
Why do you break all the rules (All the rules)
We as lovers issued?
No, you aren't allowed

Online, I feel like I can say anything to her outright
I put my heart out on display, yeah
And she tries so hard to contradict what she said in the confines
Of conversation, any way that she can evade

So, you were stringing me along (Left me wanting more)
But if you had told me straight away I'd be strong (Trust me darling)
You're love is confusing in a song (I can't think no more)
So I'll just stay awake and sing
I'll sing "La la la la"
