Staring At The Ceiling

(album: Retrofit - 2021)

I've been staring at the ceiling all night
Chasing after all the words I can't find
As you race through my mind
And time drags on and on and on

I could tell you you're my favorite person
And every moment that we share feels perfect
That just scratches the surface
My search goes on and on and on

But one thing I know is true
No matter where I go or what I do

I'd rather be staring at the ceiling with you
Swear I'm never leaving this room
As long as you've got room for two
I'll keep staring at the ceiling
Lying next to you, you

All I need lies between your bed sheets
As our fingers fit together like a puzzle piece
I could stay here for weeks
While time drifts on and on and on

The grass is greenest when you're by my side
And when the smoke clears we're both on cloud nine
Watching stars realign
As life floats on and on and on

But one thing I know is true
No matter where I go or what I do

I'd rather be staring at the ceiling with you
Swear I'm never leaving this room
As long as you've got room for two
I'll keep staring at the ceiling
Lying next to...

You mean so much more to me
Than my old, weary brain full of tired cliches
Could ever explain
When it's just you and me
No distance in between
All the rest of the world it just seems to fade away...

I've been staring at the ceiling all night
Chasing after all the words I can't find
As you race through my mind
And time drags on and on and on

I'd rather be staring at the ceiling with you
Swear I'm never leaving this room
As long as you've got room for two
I'll keep staring at the ceiling
Lying next to you, you, you, you
