The Crane Wives - Steady Steady lyrics

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. Steady, steady I am ready To be the one. I can take "for better," but "for worse" I can't condone Most of all "for good" just makes me ache to be alone Oh, oh How long is forever? I'm swimming in this dress, a child in her mother's clothes This ring around my finger's like a chain around my throat. Are you so sure you've tamed me? Steady, steady 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, 'bout packing up our lives and hopes. Ain't it a shame with time, our dreams turn into jokes? Oh, oh 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. Oh, oh 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," Until you promise me That though we gray, We can stay young and wild and free, Young and wild and free, And if you can't, Don't blame me If you can't, Don't blame me If you can't Don't blame me Steady, steady 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
