[Verse 1]

Things've really hit the ceiling

Where I’ve been hiding

Among the tessellations

And the loose balloons of enjoyment

And avoidance with strings hanging

Daily dangling but if I pull one down

They all come down with the pace of falling ashes

The sound of animosity passing

The shadows make a macramé

The cat’s cradle undone

Maybe I’m tired maybe I’m alone

And all my love is in the envelope

That I could not send to you

[Chorus]

When I could not fit myself into

Sleep is all that I believe in

Sleep is all that I believe in

Sleep is all that I believe in now

And I’m floating on the ceiling

I’m floating on the ceiling

I’m floating on the ceiling now

[Verse 2]

It is almost time to leave the room behind

We’ve lived uneasily for such a long long while

Out my window now oh I’m leaning

To scream my tiding: 'I’m tired of hiding'

Hear my tiding: 'I’m tired of hiding'

High and wild and handsome too

That is how I want to ride to you

But as it is I will have to do

It's all I could fit myself into

[Chorus]

You are all that I believe in

You are all that I believe in

You are all that I believe in now

And I’m floating on the ceiling

Floating on the ceiling

I’m floating on the ceiling now

[Verse 3]

If you wait for me, I’ll wait for you

With the patience of a field

Where I’m leaning

Among reeds reeling to scream my mighty tiding:

'I’m gone from hiding'

Hear my tiding: 'I’m gone from hiding'

[Chorus]

And I will always be your child

You are all that I believe in now

You are all that I'll let lead me out

You are all I ever needed from life

All I ever needed from life

Was to give you life
