Parakeets In London - The Drop & Nick Manasseh

It's sunny outside But I can't get the storm clouds Out of my ceiling so I will lie here Soaking up the rain Fall on the carpet Mapping out the strands where You used to lie next to me when we were sixteen And uncomfortable about my bed Always squeaking, always squeaking I hear your ghost in the floorboards I see your shadow on the ceiling It's cracking in the lights So I'll just keep on dreaming You woke me up last night saying You were scared of the old you But I've romanticized that enough So I'm not the best person to talk to I wrapped it up in a box Clearly marked 'things I should forget' Tomorrow, this will be nothing But tonight, it is everything I hear your ghost in the floorboards I see your shadow on the ceiling It's cracking in the lights So I'll just keep on dreaming There was a point when My jumpers still took up your wardrobe But we both know That was quite some time ago You're not in love, for the most part And that's fine But I will love you 'Til I find a better way to waste my time I hear your ghost in the floorboards I see your shadow on the ceiling It's cracking in the lights So I'll just keep on dreaming So I'll just keep on dreaming So I'll just keep on dreaming

Strange dear but true dear When I'm close to you, dear The stars fill the sky So in love with you am I Even without you My arms fold about you You know darling why So in love with you am I In love with the night mysterious The night when you first were there In love with my joy delirious When I knew that you could care So taunt me and hurt me Deceive me, desert me I'm yours till I die So in love, so in love So in love with you, my love am I In love with the night mysterious The night when you first were there In love with my joy delirious When I knew that you could care So taunt me and hurt me Deceive me, desert me I'm yours till I die So in love, so in love So in love with you, my love am I
