Staring At The Ceiling 2.0

V6

VERSE 1 We’re moving slow in the midnight glow Watching little shadows put on a show Your fingertips keep keeping time Every little heartbeat falls into mine The city’s fading somewhere outside But right here the world’s on pause tonight No fireworks, no flashing lights Just you and me underneath the white PRE-CHORUS Don’t say a word The silence sings enough One little smile And I’m already gone CHORUS Staring at the ceiling Like the sky came down tonight Every shadow paints a picture Every breath becomes a light Time keeps moving somewhere It just doesn’t make it through Everything grows a little lighter In this room with you POST-CHORUS Ooh… stay awhile Ooh… don’t speak yet Let the night keep turning Without us noticing VERSE 2 Moonlight dancing on your face Turning every second into something new The neighbors laugh somewhere below A siren disappears from view I almost say what’s on my mind Then let the silence finish first Some thoughts were never meant for words Just somewhere safe enough to rest PRE-CHORUS No need to chase What’s already here The night keeps breathing As you come near CHORUS Staring at the ceiling Like the sky came down tonight Every shadow paints a picture Every breath becomes a light Time keeps moving somewhere It just doesn’t make it through Everything grows a little lighter In this room with you BRIDGE Maybe this is all it is The room… the air… A passing car… The weight of your hand finding mine Nothing to solve Nothing to hold Nothing slipping through time The world’s still spinning And things keep changing We’re just here… Long enough to notice. FINAL CHORUS Staring at the ceiling Like the sky came down tonight Every shadow paints a picture Every breath becomes a light Morning waits beyond the window But it doesn’t need us yet ——————— Written and produced by @vinnyleaf Vinnyleaf Music 2026
