[Intro] I looked back the other day Couldn't recognize the address Good [Hook ] I don't live down there no more Left that version at the door Of something I don't have a name for yet But I know it isn't what I was I know it isn't where I was I know the ceiling that they gave me Wasn't ever really mine I don't live down there no more [Verse 1] Used to wake up in the version That they handed me at birth Like a costume that was tailored For a life I didn't choose Every room I walked into Already had a ceiling Already had a story About what I was going to lose I wore it for a while The way you wear a hand-me-down Not because it fits But because nobody offered Anything else And the familiar weight of something That was never yours Starts feeling like your own After long enough Then the ceiling cracked Let in a different kind of light Not the kind you plan for Just the kind that finds you When the thing you thought was solid Turns out to be A cloud And I been rising Not because I planned to rise Just because the floor That held me down Turned out to be The sky of somewhere else [Hook] I don't live down there no more Left that version at the door Of something I don't have a name for yet But I know it isn't what I was I know it isn't where I was I know the ceiling that they gave me Wasn't ever really mine I don't live down there no more [Verse 2] Let me tell you what that version cost Before I got too comfortable Up here in the atmospheric It cost me years of mornings That I spent convincing myself The box was fine The box was home The box was the whole story It cost me people who were comfortable With the version that stayed small Who got quiet when the ceiling cracked Who needed me to stay Where they could see me From where they were standing AND I UNDERSTAND IT I DO UNDERSTAND IT BUT THE ALTITUDE DOESN'T WAIT FOR ANYONE TO GET COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR ASCENT IT JUST KEEPS GOING AND YOU EITHER GO WITH IT OR YOU STAY DOWN THERE AND WATCH The version of me That lived in that address Was doing the best He could With what he had In the space he was given In the light that came through The only window He knew existed I don't resent him I just Don't live there anymore [Hook] I don't live down there no more Left that version at the door Of something I still don't have a name for But I know it isn't what I was I know it isn't where I was The ceiling that they built for me Was never really mine I don't live down there No more Don't live there anymore... Mmm... Good address though... For where I was...
