Ceiling Lyrics

Ceiling lyrics

Your mother's voice was bleeding through the ceiling

As we rolled around along the kitchen floor

We could see your father in the backyard kneeling

Funny your mother doens't kneel much anymore

But I pushed myself right through you for the first time

And I told you that I'd never be untrue

And I held you like I never had before



Sister found the pills now for the first time

We all loved her more by her hospital bed

Father had a seat upon the right side

As Mother loved her dearly from her left

Then her heart had burst into a sea of softness

And it swallowed up the whole world all at once



We were closer than we'd ever been before

We were younger than we'd ever been before

Somehow safer than we'd ever been before
