Can’t Climb Up Lyrics by Jennifer Kimball

Oh Hear Us

2006

[Chorus]
You can't climb up, you can't crawl down
Let your heart bring you around

[Verse 1]
You fall down when I need someone
To stand up to me, set me straight
Let me run roughshod over all the livelong day
Then you turn your back and walk away

[Chorus]
You can't climb up, can't crawl down
You drained your cup, now you're all unwound
You never really could talk to me
You're on the train and headed out of town
I put a penny on the track

[Verse 2]
So, your mama's gone but you're a rich girl now
How could you say that to me?
What have you done to your own heart
That cruelty comes with such ease?

[Chorus]
You can't climb up, can't crawl down
You pass the buck, turn off the sound
You can't get past no ring on my finger
You'd really rather put a check in the mail
I know this letter

[Bridge]
Father, father!
I'm lost in a dark wood
No golden thread to lead me back

[Chorus]
Can't climb up, you can't crawl down
Left your joy in the lost and found
Oh you can't climb up, can't crawl down
Let your heart bring you around

[Outro]
You lost your joy
You lost your joy
You lost your joy
Lost your joy
You gotta find your joy
You gotta find your joy
You gotta find your joy
