[Verse 1]
Cats on the ceiling
The floorboards are breathing and
I can't believe that I have ever lived without you
Without you
The sun started bleeding
The sky's tangerining
I'm hooked on the feeling that I could never live without you
But I don't want to
[Pre-Chorus]
And all I remember before you was a blur
And all that you said was, "You've got a lot to learn"
Can you show me?
[Chorus]
You could be my teacher and I could be your rose
Darling, you can drive me to the edge of self control
You could be my healer when I feel alone
Watch the flowers grow
[Verse 2]
The stars were confetti, my legs turned to jelly
My head's feeling heavy, the world started spinning
Around you, around you
My lips start to stutter, I trip on the covers
I'm stuck in the gutter, I can't see any color
Without you, I'm all about you
[Pre-Chorus]
And all I remember before you was a blur
And all that you said was, "You've got a lot to learn"
Can you show me?
[Chorus]
You could be my teacher and I could be your rose
Darling, you can drive me to the edge of self control
You could be my healer when I feel alone
Watch the flowers grow
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
You could be my teacher and I could be your rose
And darling, you can drive me to the edge of self control
You could be my healer when I feel alone
Watch the flowers grow
[Outro]
Watch the flowers grow
Watch the flowers grow
Watch the flowers grow
Cats on the Ceiling was written by Ruel & Jake Torrey & M-Phazes & Elias Danielsen & RØMANS.
Ruel released Cats on the Ceiling on Thu Oct 17 2024.
I think there is so much more out there for us to experience in this life if we can just ‘let go’ of all that pent up self-control from time to time. I wrote Cats to express the joy that comes from giving in to the great unknown and I want people to be able interpret that in whatever way feels good...
