Lyrics

On a mountain here tonight
Underwhelmed or was I just afraid of heights
I think the magic’s in the climb
It turns out the stars we thought made it aren’t so bright

Oh yeah

Remember all the late nights
Yeah we always tell those stories
’Cause this building’s so high
So let’s go build six more stories

I’m done with this life
Time to open my eyes
Lay it out on a silver platter
That the end just don’t matter

Oh I’m getting old
Still haven’t struck gold
I know the end don’t matter
I found beauty in the ladder

Back in college always high
Not from the thing you’re probably thinking
But from the way the music cried
Out to my ears every night
Rum and Coke cup never dry
I realized those were the moments
That made all this come to life

But

No I can’t go back
Even if I could I wouldn’t
Start to love what we have
’Cause we still got a good thing going

I’m done with this life
Time to open my eyes
Lay it out on a silver platter
That the end just don’t matter

Oh I’m getting old
Still haven’t struck gold
I know the end don’t matter
I found beauty in the ladder

It don’t matter
No it don’t matter
I found beauty in the ladder

It don’t matter
No it don’t matter
I found beauty in the ladder

It don’t matter
No it don’t matter
I found beauty in the ladder

It don’t matter
No it don’t matter
I found beauty in the ladder

Oh I’m getting old
Still haven’t struck gold
I know the end don’t matter
I found beauty in the ladder
