Footprints on My Ceiling

Everybody wants a lover

Nobody wants to uncover

What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past

Wanna 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 ****** up feeling

Somethin’s wrong, you ain’t comin’ around here no more

Try to get my thoughts together

I think of a time when things were better

This miscommunication is breaking me down

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 you treat your new best friend?

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: How do you talk without speaking?

How do you hear without listening?

How do you live without feeling?

How do you take without giving?

There are footprints on my ceiling

And I kept it bottled up inside

All my life
