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? Yea
 How do you hear without listening?
 How do you live without feeling? Yea
 How do you take without giving?
 We keep it all inside?
 There are footprints on my ceiling
 I can't help this fucked up feeling
 Something'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? Yea
 How do you hear without listening?
 How do you live without feeling? Yea
 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? Yea
 How do you hear without listening?
 How do you live without feeling? Yea
 How do you take without giving?
 There are footprints on my ceiling yea
 And I kept it bottled up inside
 All my life
