Hold The Ladder

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?
