Footprints On My Ceiling

Everybody wants a lover Nobody wants to uncover What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past Want to go without a care Pull Gardenias from her hair I think of a time we didn't have a care in the world Captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life long duty She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen [Chorus:] How do you talk without speaking? How do you hear without listening? How do you live without feeling? How do you take without giving? How do you keep it all inside? There are footprints on my ceiling I can't help this fucked up feeling Somethings wrong, you ain't coming round her no more Try to get my thoughts together I think of a time when things were better This miscommunication is breaking me down [Chorus] Everybody wants a lover Nobody wants to uncover What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past My heart is heavy slowly sinking I redirect my desperate thinking And kiss her red full lips like I did the very first time [Chorus] There are footprints on my ceiling And I kept it bottled up inside, all my life.
