Ladybugs

Further along than I thought I'd be At the age of 25 I'm living out my dream So I should be a happier me There's something standing in the way Stealing that little light from me Like ladybugs just creeping through the meadow Tryna find some sunshine underneath a honeysuckle Bluebirds singing soft and simple melodies On the branches of some old dogwood trees I guess that we will always be in something else's shadow Oooooo Got the apartment I always wanted And then they built some big ole building And took my morning dawn Now all I see is my neighbor's closet And if he doesn't shut the blinds I get more than I bargained Ain't that the way it goes Like ladybugs just creeping through the meadow Tryna find some sunshine underneath a honeysuckle Bluebirds singing soft and simple melodies On the branches of some old dogwood trees I guess that we will always be in something else's shadow Oooooo Oooooo Ain't that the way it goes (way it goes) But in the shade those trees still grow (trees still grow) And them birds keep singing songs Like ladybugs just creeping through the meadow Tryna find some sunshine underneath a honeysuckle Bluebirds singing soft and simple melodies On the branches of some old dogwood trees I guess that we will always be I guess that we will always be It's okay that we will always be In something else's shadow Oooooo Oooooo
