Footprints On My Ceiling - Social Distortion

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
