  • Still climbing the ladder
    Still paying my dues
    Don't wanna be headed anywhere, though
    Except back to you
    Don't know where I'm going
    Don't know where I'm from
    Can't hold onto anything, really
    If it's already gone

    Still climbing the ladder
    Still paying my dues
    Don't wanna get anywhere, really
    Except back to you
    Held on for so long
    But now that it's gone, gone, gone
    Still searching for something to replace it
    Held out for too long

    No one can believe it
    Think it's for somebody else
    But all of the hardest lessons
    You gotta learn for yourself
    Still climbing the ladder
    Still paying my dues
    Don't wanna get anywhere, really, yeah, yeah
    Except back to you
    Held out for so long
    But now that it's gone, gone, gone
    Still searching
    Still searching
    Still searching, yeah
    Still searching
    Held out for too long Writer/s: James Edward Olliges Jr.
