Let's take this walk, it's long overdue And let this loathe crawl over you finally Let's take this walk, it's overdue Let's sit and talk and slow things down Just be our old selves again finally Let's take this walk Let's take a walk to somewhere pretty This ladder is ours This ladder is ours We can be anybody else Hold on to the fringe Jump through from the past This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This is where everybody turns Out right in the end Can you play a part? See us walking through the sunshine Ask me where I've been Back to Ire Back to desire This is where it all begins This ladder is ours This ladder is ours We can be anybody else Hold on to the fringe Jump through from the past This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This is where everybody turns Out right in the end Can you play that part? This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This ladder is ours This ladder is ours
