This Ladder Is Ours Lyrics

Let's take this walk, it's long overdue
And let this load 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 clear

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 wire?
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, ours, ours...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
