Steady Steady Lyrics - The Crane Wives

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
