From the very start
It came apart
It broke up into pieces and
There was a chance and I missed it
It could risked it
And I put myself in your hands
Cause you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
I can run my courses
Opposing forces
And oh man I just...
Oh if you want me then you can have me
Oh take me, baby grab me
Oh if you want me then you can have me
Cause you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh now boy what you mean I've done
You set a course that you couldn't run
Oh now boy what you mean I've done
I had it all and I risked it
I had it all and I risked it all
I risked it all
Oh I risked it all
A ladder to the
A Ladder to the sun
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
I had it all and I risked it all
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
I had it all and I risked it all
And I risked it
I had it all and I risked it all
I had it all and I risked it all
It came apart
It broke up into pieces and
There was a chance and I missed it
It could risked it
And I put myself in your hands
Cause you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
I can run my courses
Opposing forces
And oh man I just...
Oh if you want me then you can have me
Oh take me, baby grab me
Oh if you want me then you can have me
Cause you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh now boy what you mean I've done
You set a course that you couldn't run
Oh now boy what you mean I've done
I had it all and I risked it
I had it all and I risked it all
I risked it all
Oh I risked it all
A ladder to the
A Ladder to the sun
A ladder to the

A ladder to the sun
I had it all and I risked it all
And I risked it
I had it all and I risked it all
I had it all and I risked it all

"I had it all and I missed it all" is the defining verse here.
Means: I found happiness and I let it slip through my fingers.
Sad song really. It sort of mirrors my experience with a person. A person I truly fell in love with but the most she will be to me is a memory.
i love it soooooooooooo much
I know, because this song describes my past. I had the girl of my dreams, and I love her so much, and I had it all and I risked it all. Because I took her for granted.
There was a chance for me to fix things, to work everything out, and I didnt.
From the very start
It came apart
It broke up into pieces and
There was a chance and I missed it
It could risked it
--------- From the start, things started to fall apart slowly, there was a chance to fix things, but he/she missed it.
And I put myself in your hands
------He/she put themselves in the hands of the person they love, as in, they told them everything they feel for them. They let all their emotions out, and told them how much they love them. And it is up to the person they love to decide what next.
Cause you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
--------This person is not just another person you like, this person is truly the person you love with all of your heart, you would do anything for them. They aren't just anyone, they are someone special who ahs impacted your life like no other.
I can run my courses
Opposing forces
And oh man I just...
-----You can live life like everyone else, and move on, facing all the hardships ahead of you, but you realize you face them alone. And you have no one to blame, but yourself. I think the last line, describes how he is speechless for what he has done.
Oh if you want me then you can have me
Oh take me, baby grab me
Oh if you want me then you can have me
------If the person loves he/she back, take them back, grab them. They are at your disposal, because they love that person so much.
Oh now boy what you mean I've done
You set a course that you couldn't run
Oh now boy what you mean I've done
-----Not really sure here, but with the lyrics the way they are, it is almost as if he is asking someone (God?) a rhetorical question. Asking "What do you mean, I've done all this myself?" And that whoever they ask, responds that you set a course yourself, that you couldn't run. That in time, you will realize you have no one to blame but yourself.
I had it all and I risked it
I had it all and I risked it all
I risked it all
------They had everything, happiness, the person they love, no worries, they were living during the happiest point in their life. Just knowing you had the person you love, and you were together, means everything to you.
They had it all, and they risked it all. They took them for granted, and lost them.
Sorry to write so much, but not a lot of comments on what this song is really about. Thought I'd try and sum it up on how it appears to me, and how I relate to it. Hope it helps everybody
I have no doubt its said in a loving way, but yeah, just a thought.
When he's saying "I had it all and I risked it all".... could that be inferring he risked everything good he already had (friendship or such that he had with this woman) to further their relationship? That he risked that pain in being burnt by soemthing so bright and wonderful, and also losing their friendship/what they had before?
Opposing forces
And oh man I just..."
Has to be:
"I can run my courses
and Opposing forces
And oh man are just mortals"
Such a good way to describe the love between man and woman.
I also can see in my life that the girl of my dreams is a ladder to the sun... to daylight. light and love.
Back to the source.
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung or do
Something that’s never been done, do
Something that’s never been done
I wonder if there's a connection between the two songs.
