Steady, Steady

(albüm: The Fool In Her Wedding Gown - 2012)

Steady, steady, you know when you're ready
It's a long road walking into the sun
The heat can make you lose your head
Your sense of direction

Oh steady, steady
I am ready to be the one

I can take for better but for worse can't condone
Most of all for good just makes me ache to be alone
How long is forever?

I'm swimming in the dress like a child in her mother's clothes
This ring around my finger's like a chain around my throat
Are you so sure you tamed me?

Steady, steady, you know when you're ready
It's a long road walking into the sun
The heat can make you lose your head
Your sense of direction

Oh steady, steady
I am ready to run

We talked about the west by packing up our lives and hopes
Ain't it a shame with time our dreams turned into jokes
I won't let that be us

Nostalgic for the good times like our dreams walked out on us
Like we woke up in an empty bed here, and now, and stuck
I'll chase them down alone

Don't just watch me go, you fool
Run with me, keep up, keep up, keep up

It's not you I'm leaving
Are you listening?
I just can't take the rut, the rut

I won't say I do, 'til you promise me
That though we're gray, we can stay young, and wild, and free
Young and wild and free

And if you can't, don't blame me
And if you can't, don't blame me
And if you can't, don't blame me

Steady, steady, you know when you're ready
It's a long road walking into the sun
The heat can make you lose your head, your sense of direction
Oh steady, steady, we weren't ready
