Social Distortion - Footprints On My Ceiling

Lyrics:
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

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 giving?
And keep it all inside?

There are footprints on my ceiling
I can't help this fucked up feeling
something's wrong, you ain't coming 'round here no more
try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
this miscommunication is breaking me down

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 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

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 giving?
There are footprints on my ceiling, yeah!
And I kept it bottled up inside... all my life.

This song kicks my heart's ass, and I'm NOT ashamed to admit it...

EPIC!

[Ftballnumba69]

i love clicking on a video and immediatly buying the song without listening throught the entire thing. BTW, dont steal music from Social D. maybe others, but they deserve every cent

@mk45gunnr wouldn't worry about what someone else thinks on this. I will grant you that I clean it up a bit, but a regularly use Social Distortion lyrics in my day to day operations as a Youth Minister.

this is and has been my favorite song for a long time.. theres an amazing amount of pain and anger and genuine sorrow but it comes across in somewhat of a happy manner as if mike is getting over these feelings as he's writing it.. if you ever came out of depression before this song will hit home for you. everything is just so well placed and thought out

[TUSMROX]

Helluva song this is.

[ThePippoSpi]

The best song of SD

[DEANNAMDAVIS]

One of the deepest songs ever.

[CriticsConfession]

@2103what But you just fucking labeled something! FUCK! Everybody is a hypocrite!

[mk45gunnr]

@xxspliffsmokexx didn't say religion Brother. I said God. two different things, and I believe Ole Mike would side with me on this one.

[xxspliffsmokexx]
