I spend my whole life climbing ladders
Playing catch with the stars
A million miles away from disaster
And invincible unbreakable hearts

I spend my life floating backwards
And not because I want to be free
I have no choice I must surrender
Close my eyes and jump from the dream

'Cause the world is full of ups and downs
Highs and lows, ain't that the truth?
But don't you know that's why
God made ladders and parachutes

I've had a love so perfect
Even Heaven looked up to see me there
And I have been so damn broken
Crashing hopelessly through thin air

'Cause the world is made up of ups and downs
Highs and lows, ain't that the truth?
But don't you know that's why
God made ladders and parachutes

'Cause the world is full of ups and downs
Highs and lows, ain't that the truth?
But don't you know that's why
God made ladders and parachutes
Oh, don't you know that's why
God made ladders and parachutes
