Songs I Write | IV

Starlit Ceilings

Tell me I'm the best you've ever known
You tell me I'm the best you'll ever meet
I got this feeling when we're growing old
That you'll never stop sticking beside me
The theory of everything is just a show
You've gotta hold on before you can release
You and I play innocent and sweet
Pretending we're in it for the hell of it all

We're children even growing up, now I can't sleep
You've gotta hold on before you can release

What the hell are we doing here?
What the hell, for the hell of it?
Well, I won't hesitate to be reckless while I can
Where the hell is the meaning?
Is definition an existent thing?
Heaven's a shot in the dark with our eyes open

I love you and I shouldn't do
Everybody says it's wrong
It's a cliché and the worst of moves
To love you for this long
'Cause my heart is bound to break
For a boy when I crave a man
You don't want me but you scream my name
And you sabotage my plans

And all I ask of you, is to give me your hand
Baby, all I ask of you, make me happier than you have
All I ask of you, don't leave me overthinking our ground
Baby, all I ask of you, but all you do is let me down

I won't stop fighting for you if they think you're no good
And I know that I shouldn't but I bet you I would
And if you wanna talk about it over a drink
You might convince me you're more than I think
I won't stop wanting more than whatever it's been
Don't mind if I'm not the one you've imagined
I might be bragging on about what I can't sell
Guess I just love putting myself through hell

And all I ask of you, is to give me your hand
Baby, all I ask of you, make me happier, oh, man
All I ask of you
We're still children
Dreaming with our eyes closed with starlit ceilings

What the hell are we doing here?
What the hell, for the hell of it?
Well, I won't hesitate to be reckless while I can
Where the hell is the meaning?
Is definition an existent thing?
Heaven's a shot in the dark with our eyes open
