ready to learn

i'm either walking on water
or walking on eggshells
sometimes i'm up
though sometimes i'm down
i try to put things in order
but no one can tell me
how to keep it together
when no one's around

but you keep me steady
and you keep me firm
and just maybe, i could be ready
to learn

i try to please everybody
but no one is happy
hard to make people smile
with the weight of the world
and everything is so muddy
cluttered up in my mind
but you know, you know
what it's like, you make it feel right

and you keep me steady
and you keep me firm
and just maybe, baby
i could be ready to learn

i know i'm kind of uneven
it's hard to be patient
hard to keep track
of the moods that i'm in
i woke up when you were leaving
no amount of pleading
can get you to believe
that i need you to stay

because you keep me steady
and you keep me firm
and just maybe, baby
i could be ready, yes i could be ready

because you keep me grounded
and you keep me sane
but just maybe, maybe
i could be all alone again

i need to learn a few lessons
and take it in slowly
i need to make my own happiness
when i'm alone
i'd like to be independent
but nobody knows me
quite the way that you do
and now you are gone

but you kept me steady
and you kept me firm
but just maybe, i could be ready
to learn
