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?
