we were living out of basements, hitting all the pavement
working odd jobs just to buy a little time to spend
there's got to be a better thing coming
moved out to the city and we hit the ground running
we were just kids and we had big plans
to make a little money but I haven't seen you round in years 
I haven't seen you in years

am I the only one, wondering what went wrong
I was hung up on everything it cost
or maybe I just didn't want it bad enough

now when I see you at the parties, and you're acting like you know me
looking over shoulders for someone to get you closer to it
yeah you know I'm happy that you made it somehow
you got a little money but I don't like what it's done to you
look what it's done to you

I'm not the only one, wondering what went wrong
I was hung up on everything it cost
or maybe I just didn't want it bad enough
oh where did we get lost
I couldn't help but believing you were out of touch
we were trying to climb a ladder up to the sun

trying to climb a ladder, trying to climb a ladder 

we were living out of basements, hitting all the pavement
working odd jobs and it feels like 
I'm not the only one, wondering what went wrong
I was hung up on everything it cost
or maybe I just didn't want it bad enough

I'm not the only one, wondering what went wrong
I was hung up on everything it cost
or maybe I just didn't want it bad enough
oh where did we get lost
I couldn't help but believing you were out of touch
we were trying to climb a ladder up to the sun

trying to climb a ladder, trying to climb a ladder
we were trying to climb a ladder up to the sun 
trying to climb a ladder, trying to climb a ladder.
