The Ladder

In the light of the moon I saw you reaching up for a star.
It was miles above our best day so far.
We're striving for something that we've never had before.
It's not easy work and yet I hope that it's working.
We're coated in anesthesia, ready for whatever's next.
Preparation for the events that we can't expect.
We're hoping for synesthesia to give us the desired effect.
Reparations for the events that we all regret.

You are the ladder to reach my potential
I am going nowhere without you.
In this world we're all so defenseless.
I only feel strong when I'm with you.

You've got to give it up, give it up and stop hanging onto it, we're not that far away
Even though I miss you each and every day
You've got to live it up, live it up and take advantage of the time we're given now
The only thing that matters is the here and now
There's lots to give and lots to love and lots to leave behind
Arguing over petty things but I don't mind, I don't mind
We've come a long long way and we're really not going back
Kiss away the bad old days and fade to black
