Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
[Verse 2]
Don't be concerned
It's just the way that gravity works 'round here
All slowly rising, falling patiently
Feel no, feel no fear
Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper, "We'll miss you"
But go
Let go
[Verse 3]
Always and always and always ascending
Opening line leaves an uncertain ending
Always and always and always ascending
The gods seem to prod with our
[Verse 4]
Resolve
(Never gonna resolve) Never gonna resolve
(Never gonna resolve) Never gonna resolve
(Never gonna resolve) Never gonna resolve
(Never gonna resolve)
Ah, talk to me (Talk to me)
Come on, talk to me (Talk to me)
Yeah, talk to me (Talk to me)
Ah!
Come and wake me up
C'mon on, wake me up
[Verse 5]
Waking up dry and waking up thirsty
Feeling remorse, feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
Bring me water
[Verse 6]
We could ascend from this arrangement
We can see faith as entertainment
Bring me a cup
Bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
[Verse 7]
Always and always and always ascending
The shepherd misleads so you think you're transcending
Always and always and always ascending
Pause the progression, but ah!
[Verse 8]
Never gonna resolve
(Never gonna resolve) Never gonna resolve
(Never gonna resolve) Never gonna resolve
(Never gonna resolve) Never gonna resolve
(Never gonna resolve)
Ah, talk to me (Talk to me)
Come on, talk to me (Talk to me)
Yeah, talk to me (Talk to me)
Ah!
And wake me up
C'mon, wake me up
[Verse 9]
Waking up dry and waking up thirsty
Feeling remorse, feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
Bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
Bring me water
Bring me water, yeah
[Verse 10]
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
(Put your ladder down)
[Verse 11]
Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper, "We'll miss you"
But go
Let go
