Ceilings Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ceilings, plaster Can't you just make it move faster? Lovely to be sitting here with you You're kinda cute but it's raining harder My shoes are now full of water Lovely to be rained on with you It's kinda cute but it's so short [Chorus] Then you're driving me home And I don't wanna leave But I have to go You kiss me in your car And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before Before [Verse 2] Bed sheets, no clothes Touch me like nobody else does Lovely to just lay here with you You're kinda cute and I would say all of this But I don't wanna ruin the moment Lovely to sit between comfort and chaos [Chorus] But it's over Then you're driving me home And it kinda comes out as I get up to go You kiss me in your car And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before You might also like The Grants Lana Del Rey Candy Necklace Lana Del Rey Heaven Niall Horan [Outro] But it's not real And you don't exist And I can't recall the last time I was kissed It hits me in the car And it feels like the end of a movie I've seen before Before

Meaning of Ceilings

The song captures the bittersweet feeling of a fleeting, idealized romantic encounter – a 'movie moment' that feels significant but ultimately transient and unreal. It explores the tension between wanting to hold onto the beauty and intensity of the experience and accepting its inevitable end, highlighting the pain of knowing it wasn’t truly substantial.
