Ceilings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You always satisfy that ignored feeling in my brain
You always know just what to do and say to heal my pain
But your notoriety is getting the best of you again
I said I'd help you fight your demons
Cause you helped me with the ones in my head

[Chorus]
Blue skies seem so bitter when I'm not waking with you
But you love your drugs and liquor
So I only see you in the afternoons
But you— You told me that evening
You said “I'm not leaving you again”
And we stared— And stared at your ceiling
The stars, they were bleeding colours above our heads

[Verse 2]
You called me an enigma, and I think I really liked it
I think you saw something in mе, but I've been called bipolar often
And two souls that need to softеn, cause we hide all of our problems
But I'm not judging you for the release of all your vices

[Chorus]
Oh, and blue skies seem so bitter when I'm not waking with you
But you love your drugs and liquor
I only see you in the afternoons
But you— You told me that evening
You said “I'm not leaving you again”
And we stared— And stared at your ceiling
The stars, they were bleeding colours above our heads
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
But you— You told me that evening
You said “I'm not leaving you again”
And we stared— And stared at your ceiling
The stars, they were bleeding colours above our heads
