Footprints on My Ceiling Lyrics

Social Distortion - Footprints on my ceiling
Intro:
Verse 1:
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? Yeah
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
How do you take without gi-ving?
And we keep it all inside?
Verse 2:
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 breakin' me down
Chorus:
How do you talk without speaking? Yeah
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
How do you take without gi-ving?
How you treat your new best friend?
Solo:
Verse 3:
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? Yeah
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
How do you take without gi-ving?
There are footprints on my ceiling, yeah
And I kept it bottled up inside, all my life
