The Ceiling (feat. Shed Seven)

Come in,

Sit down,

This song is for someone,

But I hope it isn’t you,

This song is for someone who feels under appreciated,

Under paid frustrated and irritated,

This song is for someone who’s losing hope,

And the rope that’s holding the cartoon piano above their head is starting to fray,

This song is for someone who with each passing day is growing more and more afraid,

More lost, more dismayed,

Misplaced and way laid,

Extra terrestrial aliens on earth on an everlasting search to find somewhere to belong,

If that someone is you

This is your song,

I must be dreaming,

Float up into the ceiling,

Shake this feeling,

Frozen in the hands of time again,

Again,

Keep on keeping on,

Keep on keeping on,

Keep on keeping on,

Keep on keeping on,

This world is cruel it’ll remind you,

Don’t let it define you,

Of course you should own the way you feel,

But allow yourself to grow and heal,

Bear in my that by design,

Nothing is built to last,

So no matter what this too shall pass,

So imagine yourself amongst the grass,

A dandelion not a thought in your head,

Just silent,

And with the breeze your problems release blown away into the distance,

No resistance, gone, non existence, bliss

You deserve to be happy,

I must be dreaming,

Float up into the ceiling,

Shake this feeling,

Frozen in the hands of time,

I must be dreaming,

Float up into the ceiling,

Shake this feeling,

Frozen in the hands of time again,

Again,

Keep on keeping on,

Keep on keeping on,

Keep on keeping on,

Keep on keeping on,

And all of these knock backs and setbacks at least build character,

And if you can make the right decision when no-one’s looking,

That is character and I’m proud of you,

Because you will recover from this,

And as far away as that seems, one day this will all feel like last nights dream,

Growing more and more faint as the sun warms the day,

Until eventually it’s completely gone away,

You deserve to be happy,

you deserve to be happy.
