“Walking The Ceiling Over You”
Callback) • Sung by Country Cate
Walkin’ the Ceilin’ Over You is a modern nod to the honky-tonk tradition, serving as a direct callback to the legendary Ernest Tubb’s "Walking the Floor Over You." While the classics focused on pacing the floor in heartbreak, this song captures those restless, sleepless nights spent staring at the ceiling, haunted by memories, broken promises, and the "pictures that prove the lie was true." Featuring soulful steel guitar and raw storytelling, it’s a song for anyone who’s ever found themselves lost in an empty house after the ink has dried.

Sittin' thinkin' bout the days gone by And where did we go wrong [bridge] I'm still reminded by everything in sight And how both our wrongs, never made a right [chorus] My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you Tryin' to not look at the pictures that prove the lie was true My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you And without you I don't know what else to do My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you [verse 2] That swingin chain. Still hits the light. The way it did when we decided that we wanted separate lives This simple game. Is just a shame. Like the chill I felt inside me When I heard you speak her name [bridge] But I'm still thinkin' of textin' you and I just might Maybe I should put that bottle down tonight [chorus] My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you Keepin' my focus off the pictures to prove the lie was true My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you And there's no escape from dreams that don't come true My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you [outro verse] Now the ceilin'. Is just spinnin' round. So throw that empty bottle away And then I go lay down I close my eyes. I can't get away. So I look back to the ceilin' To make you go away [bridge] But I'm tryin' to forget how it felt to hold you tight And how you always wanted to leave on the bathroom light [chorus] My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you Keepin' my feet off your side of the bed to prove the lie was true My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you And there's no escape from dreams that don't come true My eyes are walkin' the ceilin' over you
