ceilings

Ceilings, shaking Like they’re testing what we’re making Lovely to be here pretending with you There’s a height that we keep chasing But it always stops us pacing Lovely to be reaching and missing with you It feels soft when it starts to rise Like we might make it past the skies But I can see where it bends Every time You hold me like it could be something Then drift away like it’s nothing And it feels like the start of a movie I’ve seen before Before ⸻ Walls, quiet Like they know we’re barely trying Lovely to be close but not all the way through There’s a space we keep on filling But it empties without meaning Lovely to be almost enough with you It feels right right up to the line Then you stop where you stop every time Like there’s a place you won’t go No matter how I try You kiss me like you mean it fully Then leave like it was never truly And it feels like the start of a movie I’ve seen before Before ⸻ And I keep thinking maybe it changes Maybe this time it rearranges But you only ever give me halfway Halfway And I don’t know how to say it softly That I feel you slipping off me Like I’m watching the same scene replay before Before The ceilings keep rising above us But they never really love us Just show me how far you’ll go Then stop Bridge Ohhhhhh ceilings, ceilings we climb and we climb but there’s always something holding us back why let us stop now when we’re almost there no matter how hard we try, we never make it to the top and it’s not my fault, it’s not (it’s not) and i try and i try but it’s like you don’t want to love do you not love me… a question im dreading the answer to And it feels like the end of a movie I’ve seen before Beforeeeeee ohhhhhh beforeeee darling i’ve seen it beforeeeee ohhhhh ahhhhhh ahhh ahhhhbb
