Ceiling of the World

Verse 1

The clock is ticking slower at the end of day

The sunlight leaves a corner of the wall

A single point of brightness wakes up overhead

Before the evening starts to show at all

It takes a second for the pattern to be clear

To realize another sees it too

A thousand miles away across the broad expanse

You look above and see the exact same view

Pre-Chorus

And the space between slows down to a crawl

When a simple truth resets it all

Chorus

Looking at the very same sky tonight

Divided by the map but captured by the light

Counting the miles, counting the days

But lines on paper always fade away

So look up at the ceiling of the world

And sharing what is there to see

Looking at the exact same sky

Verse 2

The day is over and the hours drop away

The rest of what is out there dims from view

But leaning back to let the vision settle in

The focus shifts right back to finding you

There is no need for magic tricks or tales to tell

Which way the center always wants to lean

It's just a certain way the angles alignment works

And everything that lies between

Pre-Chorus

The distance loses every bit of weight

Meeting right at the outer gate

Chorus

Looking at the very same sky tonight

Divided by the map but captured by the light

Counting the miles, counting the days

But lines on paper always fade away

So look up at the ceiling of the world

And sharing what is there to see

Looking at the exact same sky

Bridge

It’s a long way down

Too many hours on a journey

But tracing the line that leads above the clouds

Ends in the very same terrain

No matter where the feet are on the ground

Just look up...Look up...

Chorus

Looking at the very same sky tonight

Divided by the map but captured by the light

Counting the miles, counting the days

But lines on paper always fade away

So look up at the ceiling of the world

And sharing what is there to see

Looking at the exact same sky

Outro

The exact same sky...Right above the roof.

Right above the room.

Turn the porch light off.
