Lyrics:
ceilings, plaster
can’t you just make it move faster?
lovely to be sitting here with you you’re kinda cute but it’s
raining, harder
my shoes are now full of water
lovely to be rained on with you it’s kinda cute but it’s
so short
then you’re driving me home
and i don’t want to leave but i have to go
you kiss me in your car and it feels like the start of a movie i’ve seen before
before
bed sheets, no clothes
touch me like nobody else does lovely to just lay here with you
you’re kinda cute and I
would say all of this
but i don’t wanna ruin the moment
lovely to sit between comfort and chaos
but it’s over
then you’re driving me home
and it kind of comes out as i get up to go
you kiss me in your car and it feels like the start of a movie i’ve seen before
but it’s not real
and you don’t exist
and i can’t recall the last time i was kissed
it hits me in the car and it feels like the end of a movie i’ve seen before before

lizzymcalpine.lnk.to/OlderAlbum
Soooooo excited 🤍🤍
Yess! Excited to listen to some of lizzy’s masterpieces
Can't wait
You are absolutely amazing keep it going❤️🔥
the real inspiration for 2024. Ass: Brazil!!
this song perfectly resembels the feeling of daydreaming ,wanting,and yearning for someone to love you
This
Facts
I agree, it's exactly what maladaptive daydreaming feels like. One moment you're so happy and then you snap out and reality just hits you
It also discribes me while im reading the books i love so much
Or more specifically any romance or any related thropes readers😭
Love it doh
Just laying here, tired of that yearning, wondering and wishing when it will be my time to have that love. I'm not crying 😭😭😭
"But you're not real, and you don't exist, and I can't recall the last time I was kissed"
Those lines will hit even harder on Valentine's Day 🥲
It did, indeed, hit harder on Valentine’s Day
Can confirm ✌🏼
It did… hard 🥲
I'm genuinely confused. Was she imagining her lover all along?
you've been kissed?!😯😯
The ability for musicians to create the sound of nostalgia is epic
that was exactly what I was thinking !! it’s absolutely incredible how artists can capture through words so many emotions omg
that how u know this song gonna be a classic
lol
Yes incredible. That’s my favorite part. The buildup. Fantastic.
how tf you feeling nostalgia from this
In the beginning, the lyrics says " the start of a movie I've seen before" and at the end it's "the end of the movie I've seen before" ...i mean how beautiful are these lyrics depicting a perfect time span
As a maladaptive daydreamer this song makes me sob cause I really don’t think any other song has captured the pain I feel when I have to stop and face reality.
LITERALLY
Yeeeep.🙃
Are you a pisces by any chance 😅
@@hotchickfv No I’m a Libra lol
I feel u❤
For someone who is 19 years old and has never even held hands with someone, I've never related to a song more than this. Thanks for making this!
Same
I hope you get that feeling of love and someone loves you you deserve it
19 yrs old and same.
Omg yes
THIS IS MF ME
I like to interpret this song as someone imagining all those moments with someone only to realize it won’t ever happen. Maybe because they don’t feel the same, they’re too scared to say something, or maybe that person actually doesn’t exist and is just an imagination of what they want.
Everything I want is also just an illusion
that’s exactly how i interpret it as well, having feelings for someone and fantasizing about a future together until you snap back into reality and realize it will never happen.
So true
This song is so relatable sigh😥
Ouch I’m so slow. Why did I think they were bf and gf in real life. That’s why I was confused the comments are were saying they relate. I’ve definitely imagined the small things with my crush, but then I remember I’m gay and most guys are straight 😍
I've never found a song before that encapsulates the feeling of missing someone you've never met. I live alone and have never had a serious friendship, let alone relationship. I daydream all the time about my partner. Sometimes, I comment on social media as if he is a real person, recalling events in our lives that never happened. Listening to this song never fails to make my cry when I realize those lyrics are true... It's not real, he doesn't exist, and probably never will. I still need to work on accepting the fact I'm dying alone, with maybe the exception of my cats. ❤
He definitely exists out there! I use to do the same when I was a teen and never had a long term relationship. I would long for that true love feeling. Then I found my man and I swear he was everything in my dreams and more he’s my best friend!
If you’re a girl and you’ve never had a relationship then you either have a facial deformity or you’re actively wanting to be single
No woman in 2023 has issues dating and finding a boyfriend. For men though, it’s a different story
Don't feel bad. I know loads of people who have gotten married late in life and have even kept their spouses pets. Even if those pets are housefull of cats.
The real problem is no one cares about making a real emotional connection anymore. There's nothing wrong with you. You deserve love and a wonderful companion. I hope you find someone deserving of you.
There is actually a word for nostalgia of something that never happened: Anemoia
Damn I want to give you a virtual hug, take it. I love you so much, there is someone who is the same as you! Don’t be sad..❤
for me, this song is about idealizing someone that you love, but deep down you know that this person can't give you what you need. is about finally take a deep breath and let the relationship that only exists in your head go. it's painful, but, in the end, is the right thing to do.
you put into words exactly how i felt
Yessss Preachhhh❤
I don’t want to, but I really need to
@@Charlei1007 it’s okay, I’m with you. We’ll figure it out 🖤
I was in love with someone for so so long, I realized after 15 years of loving him that it was just a teenage crush I had when I was 15 and now that I’m 30, I realized that I just idealized him but he was never meant for me and I finally let it go. 💔❤️🩹
this song is like reading a book or watching a movie then you fall in love with a character and you get sad when you’ve finished the book or the movie is over
100% 😭😭😭
Exactly
Yeah 😭
Im reading crooked kingdom chap 44 while hearing this song. U just stated the exact feeling that i feel right now im gon cry again
Exactly! 🥺
This deserves driver’s license type of recognition!❤
was literally telling my friend this !!!
Agreeeeeed!
FR also having reckless driving become a hit and having critics compare and contrast the two would be so cool.
Frr ❤️
OMG yes I thought of that song too!!
Bro, to be honest it's one of the best songs I've ever heard, the melody, everything is perfect, keep going
Fr
Fr
This song is for the the shy and antisocial people who look and want that romantic love 🥺
True its so deep 🥺🤍hoping love find us 💞
Anti means against, a means without. There is difference between antisocial and asocial. When saying you r introvert it's better to say you r asocial..
@@becca3631 depends, because people can reject something while deep down still wanting it aka Antisocial person wanting Romantic love
This is exactly what my introverted being screams for but like this song suggests it not real and it won’t exist
@@becca3631 it’s being antisocial, it’s not that deep
The fact that this song is a waltz tempo breaks my heart in ways far beyond the beauty of the song itself. Like, imagine a scene where the characters start in a gentle waltz and build into the biggest, dizzying realisation with the build at 2:28 🥲🥲🥲
Like shut up
omg yes I would LOVE this
TRUUUUUE!!! It's like, dreamy to panic 🤯
Not me hoping Bridgerton now covers this song 😅
@@iloveejasper سيسمرتن
she’s so smart , the lyrics , the music video , the overall meaning?? we don’t deserve her
i’ve seen a lot of people so heavily relate to this song. could anyone tell me what the meaning (or their interpretation) is? is it about fantasizing about a love that never happened? or missing a love that is gone?
@@braydenk.8348 I personally can see this two ways. My personal favorite is that the song is about heavily daydreaming about a love that's not real. Or this is after a relationship that doesn't work out and imagining them if they stayed together, I hope that makes sense! 😅💙
And the simp of the year award goes to...
No we deserve better than this crap
@@azcii9217 aww, yeah we’ve all been there. Thanks you two, I appreciate it. Beautiful song!
I sung this the night before my son was born. 11 weeks past and I sung it to him before his heart stopped
I’m so sorry..Just know that you are an amazing mom to a beautiful angel up in heaven. I hope it gets easier for you❤️ and may your beautiful angel rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for your lost...
I hope you're doing well now 💗
❤
💙
I am sorry that happened. Much love and strength to you ✨🩷
As a 34 year old married woman who once was the daydreaming girl, hoping and wishing to one day find love, I can say with a full heart to hang in there. Do not settle for less. Save yourself for someone real. And be patient. The one you are meant to love will find you. And then one day you will be older, reminiscing on the single life and the fun of your youth. Enjoy it while it lasts. Then, enjoy your lover, because time is not a friend. So slow down and just be. And love every moment that comes.
Thank u! 💗
I gotta call my boyfriend and say I love him now 😭
❤❤ beautiful thanks
If you live in the USA there are more men than women in your age group. It shouldn't be too difficult.
@@TheFlyingZulu ah!😂
I think what’s so special about this song is it captures the moment when you realize the fantasy of someone is not as strong as our image of them..or rather the longing for them to be real in a way that would be a love we all search for.
Right!?! agree
i want to come back to this comment
I don’t think it’s any good low key because it’s not really deftones astringent and it just doesn’t make it that bad at the end but it doesn’t really matter because I think it is the best thing that you could ever have and it would make me happy because it’s the only way to be able and you can get a better job because you’re so beautiful you know that you’re not that good and you’re not just a bad guy and you’re a bad guy so you just want.
@@xxxtentacles7213 I am not so sure what you are saying but ok.
@@FrancaAngela lmao right wth was that
OH MY GOD IT IS PERFECT YOU ARE PERFECT
Thank you for bringing Lizzy on tour and introducing me to her music 🥹 life changing for real
OMGGG THANK YOU FOR HAVING HER OPEN ON THE TOUR 🥺🫶
hard agree 🤍 queens supporting queens
AGREED
Queens supporting queenssss
this song is everything. it's perfect. please, never sell out, never sell your soul for fame. never stop making music.
this mv really made this song more heartbreaking ❤🩹 you're one-of-a-kind lizzy
So true youtube
Who in TH-cam is posting these comments xD either way I'm here for it :)
omg
so true
tf yt?:3
This is exactly what it feels like being a writer… writing love stories for other people, but never getting my own. I walk with my characters through every step, fall, and moment… then the book ends and they’re gone. My brief moment dancing as their shadows over, to look up and find I’ve abandoned the words on my own pages, and left the chapter of my life blank…
That's beautiful .
@@lalalalalh I’m also really very incredibly dyslexic :) that’s what editors are for
@@mellowyellow5865 Hey, I think you are awesome, from one writer to another.
Yes I understand this entirely too well
@@lalalalalh sometimes it’s the predictive text on your phone especially when one types fast and doesn’t proofread before posting.
This is one of the best artists of this generation lizzy deserves so much more recognition congrats lizzy 🎉🎉
Trust me, she's gonna blow up real soon. And then I'll be sad but also very happy for her rip
Agree she is a queen
It boggles my mind that she's not huge yet. She has such a sweet voice and amazing song writing skills
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 one of the worst*
@@lucas3063 oh hey u must be the boyfriend from HS that inspired some of her greatest music. Way to be a dick dude 👍🏻 and thanks! 😊
This song is so important to me. Because it's the reason why I had to stopped myself from escaping my reality. I used to have a really cute and beautiful girlfriend that I always post our convo on social medias, depicting her personality perfectly. Always telling my friends how she loved me so much. But in reality, I was the one who made her account, made our convos and even made our own story of how and when we met, how our experience and past are so similar. Everything I wanted she have it all. But in the end, I was so deep in my imagination that I forgot when I started to treat her like she's really real. Then one day, I was tuning in my radio, heard this and it hits me. How stupid I was to be in so deep with my fantasy. Even now, I still treat our memories like real sometimes. Just shows how messed up I was that my brain had convince me that it was a real memory. So for those people out there experiencing the same as me. Just know that you're not the only one. I'm in deep shyy too. 😂
The "but it's not real and you don't exist" part hits me every time. Thanks Lizzy for yet another wonderful song!
Totally the line that seriously hits. I spent a massive part of my mid 20s feeling this line due to the relationship I was in was more like an affair. I had no power
Right?? Hits you right in the center of it all...
SAME!!!😢
This song is about the lover you have had in your head for so long , that never existed never will and probably would. Its a song screaming the silent feelings of hopeless romantics. This is an absolute masterpiece. ❤
😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮
This comment is exactly the precise feeling I relate to this song... My younger self resonates to this comment and music. Thank you!
Perfectly said ❤
Sedih x anjg
This is so accurate i’m crying when I already was on the verge of crying from the song 😭😭😭
I was single for 26 years before I found someone. Never knew what it felt like to be touched or longed after. This song perfectly captures that pain of longing for that human connection with someone else - never knowing what it was like to be loved and daydreaming in the truth of my reality to get away for just a moment. Makes me want to give my younger self a hug.
You deserve all the love, I hope you’re doing well
So relatable. You said it perfectly. ❤️
I wish you well 💕
I'm still looking for love. I hope to find one too. Amazing for you ❤️
Damnn that’s soo accurate
Thanks Arijit da for increasing my Music taste ❤
Mee too
Loveya❤
❤
me too😌☺
Cringefest brigade everywhere
This song perfectly encapsulates the gut-wrenching feeling of first reminiscing the deepest memories of a soul-satisfying presence and then coming to the harsh realization, once again, that the individual no longer has a place in your life. Wrecks me every time, and I cannot wait to experience it live.
You just explained this song perfectly… and now I am crying again.
Once you lost it, nothing will ever replace it
@@SamuelBlack84 Maybe, but at least we can say we experienced at least one great love in our lifetime.
Or maybe that the individual never did have a place in your life.
I hate to admit this but I sorta miss my ex😭 it was a 6 year relationship/: we broke up in December
To me, this song resembles the feeling of loving someone you can’t have. Yearning for them to be close to you, dreaming about it, then waking up and realizing how far away they seem
I totally agree with u, it’s same for me
That's so me right now, why does it have to hurt so much 😭😭😭
You said it all❤
❤
You took it right out my mouth 😢
The last scene where they "meet" is so sweet. Lizzy is completely doe-eyed because of their real love for each other outside of the song that it takes over the scene from being an introduction to a stranger to meeting someone you feel like you've known for a while
omg are they dating in real life??
@@friedchicken3917 yes
The more you will hear the song, the more you will fall for it, this song deserves all the love and appreciation!💖
the part in the song where she sings, “bedsheets, no clothes. touch me like nobody else does.” entirely encompasses the feelings of total intimacy and the harsh instrumentals make me think she’s trying so hard to make these “memories” feel real. like she has to force them into existence and the she realizes that she can’t, that person doesn’t have that relationship with her and she’s accepting that it’s hurting her. her confrontation of her delusion at the end of the song is a gorgeous demonstration of the complex thoughts/headspace people can get into during their “daydreams.” it asks the question of what happens when that goes to far, and i think it shows that beautifully. lizzy is far and away my favorite artist ever and this song is a huge part of why.
Love how you articulate this - thank you!
Beautiful interpretation
When i was 19 i had a huge crush on my best friend’s friend. One day he added me on facebook and i was so happy i could fly. We chatted for hours that day and i felt like this was the beginning of something beautiful. The next day i didn’t hear from him and found out later that he passed away. Turns out that the day after we talked he went to the sea with his buddies and drowned. It broke my heart and made me depressed for a long time. This song perfectly describes my feeling for that relationship that never happened. Thank you for this. It helps.
🥺😢💔
I’m so sorry:(
😢😢😢😢
🫂
This breaks my heart. I'm so sorry 🙏🏼
the transition into reality “it’s not real and you don’t exist.” KILLS
Lizzy, you are Arijit Singh's Fav!!
Basically whole India loves you now! 😍
❤❤❤
Yah
uuuuu
😅
yaah and bcz of arijit singh i am and listening to this artist and when i heard her voice my mind is blowing what a singer she is wow damn sooo good 🙏🏼✨️🔥🎵
The end fully made me sob. Her voice is so powerful and the music video really made me further understand what she was going for when making this song. Very heart wrenching and beautiful. I did get chills! I won’t lie!
Im also crying rn
Same!
This song reminds me of when you fall in love in a dream, but when you wake up you get that heartbroken feeling because it wasn't real.
True 😢😂
Or when you dream of your partner or the person you love giving you the attention and affection that doesn’t exist anymore. It hurts, and you need to let go, but you can’t because you think that there’s still a chance that the dreams that you have of you two will one day come to fruition. So you simply just exist and keep hanging on, and on, and on…
ive had so many of those dreams now 💔
Exactly that! When I was going through infertility this is exactly what would happen when I would dream that I had a baby and woke up to reality.. gut wrenching
@@Prayersandpatience16 I'm so sorry, I don't understand why our brain insists on torturing us, sometimes.
This hits different when you were in an amazing relationship and it ends so unexpectedly without either one wanting to leave each other.
Dang I felt this comment and I wish I didn’t. It’s been 2 years since mine ended and I don’t think I’ll ever be fully over it
We’re going through this
Yes it does
@@hannahrae9538 well, its been 6 years for me 😂😂😂 and it never goes away. im hopeful but seriously, i’ve fallen in love with someone else yet i still remember thaaat one person and it will always hurt i think🤨 quite a long time and here we are. AND YES IVE BEEN TO THERAPY
@@wonderlaund I feel ya. He genuinely was the perfect person and it wasn’t our choice to end it (it’s a really long and kinda insane story that I’m sure you probably don’t want to read through lmao) I see him once a week now and it’s just awkward. We have so much history and yet we don’t talk. I can tell we both want to but neither one of us can bring ourselves to do it
This hits me really hard. I don't usually cry, but it keeps pushing me in the deep end.
as someone who is soon turning 22 and has never been in a relationship before, this song and music video perfectly incapsulates my mind when i imagine being with someone. it seems sad and it is, and i don’t make an effort to find it, love.
I relate to this I'm soon turning 23 nd same, but I had a crush on this one guy, i felt in love with him and he didn´t knew, we were close friends or that's what i thought but i ended up finding things bout him by other people, and that he wasn´t who he said he was, i decided to ignore it but then one day he deleted all his socials and disappearing without saying goodbye, so idk anything bout him, he was an online friend, but he made me feel special and different at some point.
At 32, and now married to my soulmate, this song makes me remember exactly how that feels: yearning for someone to love you and make you feel like like you deserve to be loved, and the fear that no one ever will, because you aren’t worth it.
Spoiler: it happens. When I stopped looking for the one and focused on loving myself, he stumbled into my life. It hurts, I viscerally remember how painful it feels (thanks to this song) but love happens.
Im turning 22 next tuesday and Its exactly the same for me
im 20 and feel the same
I’m 29 and this song hit home for me too 😔
As someone who is so attached to fictional characters and develop a crush on them because they’re just so ideal, this song is everything.
Yessss.This fits in almost all the romance novels and u visualize the fictional characters don't exist.
this comment speaks to me on a spiritual level. I remember being so sad when I had a crush and suddenly remembered that he's not real and that I would probably never meet someone like him :(
I was looking for this particular comment, b/c I'm more attracted to the characters in my dark/epic fantasy books than real life people. Currently in love Sable Holdfast b/c flawed badass female mage, yes please.❤❤
real
How can I heal from this cause it's starting to hurt a bit too much knowing they don't exist
This song is the perfect description for dreaming being in love with someone's version that is not real, but in fact it's on your head and they're not like you want them to be.
😩😢😩😩😩😩😢
This song makes me think of young love. In the beginning, it’s new and exhilarating. Then, without warning, it ends abruptly and leaves you aching, left there to play all of the memories over and over again. I am in my thirties now but I still replay memories of my first love and the feelings it left me. I will never forget that love and I am grateful I got to experience it. I hope that person is thriving in life today. ❤
For anyone out there, lonely or hurting.
Years ago, before this song came out this was me. I would imagine what it would be like to be loved like this. I remember getting to the point where I would cry every day. Then I found someone. But they were so toxic and I was lonelier than before.
Never settle for someone that hurts you just because you don’t want to be alone.
Fast forward. I found the love of my life. We are married and have children. He was worth the wait. And is better than I ever could have imagined I would have.
Stay strong sweethearts! It’ll happen for you too❤❤❤
Thanks for the kind message and I’m glad you found so much happiness where there was none before. I’m about to turn 36 and have never had more than an online connection. The older I get the more it seems likely I’ll stay alone but stories like yours are the shred of optimism I keep in my pocket.
@@Pendarr I hope u get the love of ur life don't worry u'll live Long and u'll find him /her the one who values u so much luvs u the one who makes ur heart ponder and makes u feel live and u do the same to them
Pain
Same happened to me. I always felt like something was missing in my life but now I‘m more than grateful to have found the love of my life.
What am going through right now 😢😢
I’m 30 and never really had a relationship. This song came on my shuffle today and I started crying! It so beautifully captures the feelings of wanting to feel romantic love and loneliness from not having it. ❤
You'll find someone don't fret. Youre awesome
I'm 32 and got my heart broken twice. Severely. Both times I thought this person was the one. And now I'm too scared to try again, only to get my heart broken for the third time...
@@91clarie try again. You deserve to be loved 🫶
You're not missing much. Once you're past the honeymoon stage, the excitement and romance wears off and you both end up in a state of boredom and you're doing everything you can to bring back those honeymoon feelings but they never come back. Their eyes will wander and so will yours. Don't let music and media fool you into believing in fairytale romance. It's not real and in reality people are generally shit at maintaining relationships.
@@crusty3731 , interesting take. I'm sorry you haven't found a forever love. Imo, it's a question of luck, followed by good judgement. In other words, not everyone is lucky enough to meet a high quality person. And even if you do get lucky, you have to have the good judgement in that moment to recognize, treasure & foster it.
I met my guy by chance. I had already stopped hoping in all that soulmate baloney (the truth is, the world is full of people who would be extremely compatible with us). He wasn't anything like what I had imagined for myself, but we've been madly in love & together for 40+ yrs.
So while I understand your cynicism, I want you to know that true love does happen & does endure. Best wishes.
The amount of times I've cried to this, it hits so deeply.. There's something about listening to it as you take off on a flight.. nostalgic heartbreak, thank you
there's something about this song that I might forever love. Not sure if it's lizzy's voice or the music video
the fact that she was able to make this the most relatable yet specific song is a testament to her song wrong skills. i’m long distance and this song is all i can listen to when my partner leaves
I can feel every word! Almost 4 years with long distance love 🥹Now, we are married waiting for the time my settle documents comes 🙌🏻🙏🏻
The second I heard the song I was obsessed and I finally brought myself to watch the video and now I have an even better understanding for the story behind this song. As someone who’s never been in a relationship but has watched from the sidelines as everyone gets their happy ever after and has always dreamt of a happily ever after I truly do understand where she’s coming from with these lyrics. These lyrics and this video is a perfect representation of what it feels like to dream about having and wanting some that loves you but coming to the realization that “it’s not real and you don’t exist”. Wow I have never had a song that I have related to so much. A beautiful song.
I always felt like this, I met my husband one day and I just knew. We got married 45 days later and are still together 9 years later, it’ll happen❤
This song played as I drove uphill in Seattle with the Olympic mountains in the backdrop of the sunset and my hair blowing in the wind. My eyes watered behind my shades at the relatability of the lyrics. Which is why I’m deeming this as my 2023 song of the year….🌹
Been a fan since the beginning and I’m so happy she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves. Please listen to her other songs as well 💌
Megan you look so pretty in your profile picture 🥺
Have you ever fallen in love in a dream? It's happened to me several times, where you meet someone or feel like you already know that person and throughout the dream you experience this cenematic moment that feels so real, you feel everything, the butterflies, the euphoria and you wanna cling to it because you somehow know it's about to slip away.. I remember frantically trying to save a phone number so i could find them when i woke up.. and waking up with this aching feeling of loss
Same!! Recently i have been having more dreams about guys whom i don't know treasuring me and i feel like i have known the person and i think i also had a dream(having such dreams since 2 years so i don't remember clearly) where i was trying to know his name and phone number and after waking up it feels so heartbreaking like i keep thinking about it for days and its difficult to move on 🤧. Do you remember their face? cuz i rarely get to see their face......
@@nyomi_2321 same here! i see him, know he's there and i vow to find him but when i wake up, i cant remember his face and i just cry because why would these dreams make me feel something i yearn for in real life then take it away?
No that's really weird and makes me understand the rise in pharmaceuticals, honestly.
Grieving someone who is still alive hurts so bad, but eventually you just learn to live with the pain
💔I feel this
Grieving sometime you've been married to for 22 years who is no longer alive is worse simply for the fact that if you do not honor or think of them every. single. day. then they slowly fade away, and that, that is an injustice.
the song has me crying and listening to it on repeat. i’ve imagined a couple of people to this, and it hits me (haha) every time when it gets to the bridge, because that’s how i feel every time i see the person and none of it happens. when the slight sliver of something nice happens, i grab onto it and run, just to find it means nothing
i instantly cry and go hug/tell my wife i love her. IDK why this song has such an instant effect on me.
Same here. ❤
It's perfection, that's why. Same here.
You absolutely don't belong here. This is not your crowd. Go.
Same dude…. Been on a crying kick tonight but I can’t go in there bc she’s mad at me…. I genuinely need to hold her rn fml man thanks royal otis and your cranberries cover 😅😅😅
@@Ice.muffin anyone can enjoy and feel emotional over music, even if it doesn't perfectly match their situation.
Ceilings, plaster
Can't you just make it move faster?
Lovely to be sitting here with you
You're kinda cute but it's raining harder
My shoes are now full of water
Lovely to be rained on with you
It's kinda cute but it's so short
Then you're drivin' me home
And I don't wanna leave
But I have to go
You kiss me in your car
And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before
Before
Bedsheets, no clothes
Touch me like nobody else does
Lovely to just lay here with you
You're kinda cute and I would say all of this
But I don't wanna ruin the moment
Lovely to sit between comfort and chaos
But it's over
Then you're drivin' me home
And it kinda comes out as I get up to go
You kiss me in your car
And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before
But it's not real
And you don't exist
And I can't recall the last time I was kissed
It hits me in the car
And it feels like the end of a movie I've seen before
Before
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯
Honestly I don’t think you even need to see the lyrics, the way she sings is so clear and refreshing and the instruments don’t overpower her
thanks for the lyrics ❤️❤️
❤️ thank you ❤️
As a stereotypical manly man, that has ignored my emotions and my mental health, this song just…. Opens up my heart in ways that hits home
I didn't think a song could make me cry either, man.
That's nice to hear coming from a man.
Emotional intelligence is sexy.
@@LightningMo3 yah man, I got humbled quick with this song
I felt things i never thought I'd feel again
"I can't recall the last time I was kissed" will ALWAYS tear me to pieces like you didn't have to make it hit that close to home :")
As Lizzy goes more and more viral I feel like I’m sharing this part of my soul with complete strangers and it’s so beautiful.
This. I remember when ceilings wasn’t her top song but I loved it so much and cried every time I listened to it because I understood it’s meaning. Now everyone knows and Lizzy even released an MV so it’s like ‘my little secret comfort’ is out and I’m actually glad. She deserves all the praise and fame.
@@shai.p yes 🥹🥹🥹
feels like im hiding her from anyone but also I want her to get the recognition she deserves.
For someone who's 24 and has never dated or gotten close to dating someone this hits different. And you nailed every emotion I've ever felt about being a hopeless romantic.
I’m 22 and I can totally relate to your comment 😌
Am 26 and single and never dated before, i feel every word
I turn 24 soon and I am exactly like this
25 here. I feel very much like i will never find that person that my heart craves, simply because he only exists in my mind
This song is the daydream of a hopeless romantic with absolutely no romance in their life, it's perfect
I love how, throughout the video, how ambigious of whether her and the man's relationship is her imagination, or whether it's a memory of them together and they've broken up. You have no idea until they're introduced to one another, and you realise that it's a glimpse of the future they'll have together.
I'm a 35yo dude and this song takes me back to being 21 in the best way. Incredible incredible song. The production of the is insane. Really thank you for this
It really does something to 35 year olds ! 😢
I just turned 30 and i feel like ......some parts of me died without living their life to the fullest.....and the rest of me is accepting the fact that its life.
@@kiranNiks Never settle. There's always more 💪🏽
yess
I’m 21 right now
can't believe this is finally happening😭
that final chorus ALWAYS gives me full-body chills.. especially paired with these visuals. what can't lizzy do>>
This is my fav song for more than a year..
As a woman in her mid 20's that's never been in a relationship... the last few lines really hit home 💔
Edit: Almost a year after posting this and I'm going through my first heartbreak...
26 here and in the same boat…it’s okay though! We’ll make it through…❤️
@@julissa8883 I'm also 26! 🥰
I Hope you find ur special someone one day ❤❤ hang tight.
@@evxelyxn thank you!! ❤
Im turning 25 this year and same. I wanna experience a relationship when Im young
My jaw literally dropped whoever visualized/ visual director or creative director hats off to you amazing work
The song is beautiful but this music video just completes it. I’m in tears
You are so right
This song is like falling in love with someone only for them to not be the person you fantasized and made up in your head and your reality just hits you that they aren’t who you thought they were
so true!
Oh my God yes ❤
100%
Legend Arijit like this beautiful song .Now I have to watch it.
She deserves everything and so much more just for this song alone
This song perfectly encapsulates that deeply human feeling of just wanting to love and be loved… It’s got this nostalgia for the future and deep longing in it. Just an amazing song. Bravo.
To love and be loved in return. It's everything
bravo 😂🤣
This song encapsulates that fear of starting something new again, even after being alone for so long, because you’re scared of the way the movie always seems to end the same. Thank you, Lizzy. ❤
A beautiful song which captures the dream of falling in love with someone who doesn't exist although you wish it could be true but then the disappointment of realizing it's just another dream. The sad down turn of her voice of realizing it's the same dream that is not going to happen.
Even as a bloke, this song breaks me....simply beautiful.
This song is timeless, haunting, poetic and beautiful. It's about being in love with the fantasy of love. She wants this all encompassing love so badly that she doesn't realize that it's not real. It's just a figment of her past memories, dreams and fantasies. And then she wakes up (again) from her daydream...
Absolutely iconic of her to introduce us to her bf by including him in the music video omg
IS THAT REALLY HER BF??? im crying
@@salmasabhira yes ! She shared a pic on her Instagram saying it’s him 🥰❤️ queen
No wonder I kept thinking yo the chemistry is too real I feel like I'm intruding 🤣
Beautiful. It gives me peace, her voice is so smooth. Love it.
This song also reminds me of what it feels like to be with a person who isn’t good for you, and you keep imagining in your head what you want this person to be like for you, that you hold tightly to every sign that he gives you of being the person you always dreamed of, and you create this idea that he has everything you need, when in truth you would be better off without him.
That was me, until I found the person who actually is my best friend, now partner, and it was unmistakeable that I spent too much time with the wrong person.
damn. that feeling of deja vu in how familiar her voice is and how we humans really do experience the same things just in our own ways and it's so beautiful how an artist like lizzy can capture it and make us feel it all over again. this got me tearing up.
As someone who has never been loved romantically, this song makes me cry
My 12 year relationship has come to an end, and I’m still completely in love with him. This song is exactly how I feel and I listen to it many times a day to cope with my grief.
You are talented I hope you put out more songs on your channel..
I'm sorry sweetheart, giving you a big hug 💖
Omg hope you will do well
@@becca3631 oh my gosh, that’s so sweet thank you ❤️
Thank you for the kind words🤍 we have a son together so it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced, but I know it gets better.
I know this may sound weird but my mind changes lyrics and somehow this made me miss my mommy more than ever. Last night I realized it's been 7 years and I still ache for her. Sometimes it's so tangible I feel I can call her or go to her house like I always used to. But I can't, she no longer exists. I hope you're resting well mama and I hope I've made you proud.
Same. I lost my mom December 6th, 2021 and it still hits me everyday how much I wish things were different and how she isnt around anymore ):
🫂💖
Off topic but same..it isnt weird for me, but yeah my mind changes lyrics to whatever situation it wants to change it to and it works.
Yeah it’s been 27 years for me it feels like yesterday 😢
Your comment melted my heart. I hope this song gives you comfort. ❤️
It's amazing how well written this song is.. I've never been in love, never experienced it but still.. Something in my heart feels this song.
11 months ago? Why do I feel like I've heard this song before during my childhood? What? It's so nostalgic imma cry
This song is for the hopeless romantic people that get lost in the world of fantasy where they have found their person only to come back to reality that it was never real and it breaks my heart every time I wake up and it's all gone.
Hugs!
Absolutely beautiful song! The lyrics of 'Ceilings' by Lizzy McAlpine are so relatable and the delivery is simply stunning. The song captures the essence of those fleeting moments of happiness and the bittersweet feeling of its ending. The combination of the heartfelt lyrics and Lizzy's captivating voice creates a truly memorable experience. The song is a wonderful piece of storytelling that highlights the power of music to convey complex emotions and experiences. "Ceilings" is a beautiful and deeply moving song that will resonate with listeners on many levels. This song is a true masterpiece and I can't get enough of it!
P.S.: Also hopeful ending of the video, nice idea
i dont think you understand the song. the ending isnt hopeful, rather the opposite. because she sings about a love she imagined with someone that doesnt even know she exists. and when she sees that someone at the party, she breaks all over again.
@@kai-pe8pl hahahah, understanding the song…it‘s about the video… and still how do you know that exactly, troll?;)
@@eliasfoerg not a troll? Do your research lol and find the actual meaning from interviewd
Songs can be understand in many ways, guys;)
But my last comment was about the video not the song;)
@@eliasfoerg okay, can you explain the hopeful ending?
I was so sad this song wasn't included in the five seconds flat film. Now I'm ecstatic we are getting a mv for this song😭😭
Can we talk about the chemistry between Lizzy and her boyfriend!?? 😍👏☺️
They aren’t together anymore 😢
@@Naturallllyunique 🤨 source? I'm pretty sure they are
@@Eduarda-tl9lc th-cam.com/video/A-k7cS_PJWo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-Qdy9gMazEWHiYL5 that’s just what she said in this video lol🤷🏻♀️
OBSESSED. Literally my favorite artist ever. I've been listening to Lizzy since 2020 and ceilings was my top spotify song in 2022, I'm so happy there's a music video now:)
truly one of the greatest songwriters and storytellers of our time.
2:18 she did her own challenge!! I love this music video omg
I've never had a song that perfectly encaspulates my emotions like this. I listened to it probably 8 hours solid yesterday. And of course, on Valentine's Day, when I look up the official video for it, its exactly 1 year after it was released. What are the odds?
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to cry more after a song before in my life. The emotion that is presented in this song is PERFECTION
I’m sixty- four years old and left with wonderful memories of loves like this in my younger days. 😊
i claimed this song from the moment the album came out, i'm so glad it's now doing well. soo extraordinarily proud of lizzie ughh
LITERALLY LIKE. ughhh this song is just so beautiful
me as well, its just so beautiful like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER SONGS - this one just hit the hardest
Reckless driver and an ego thing do it for me
This song makes me sob, I’ve never had anyone hugging me, holding hand whatever. It feels bad honestly when you can’t experience that and see others experience it. Right now I feel like I won’t ever find the person to love, since the fictional characters ain’t real. Thank you for making this song, I feel like there are people who are on the same page as me, so the sadness is like less.
Plus I’m an introvert so I think a lot, daydream a lot. I think as an introvert, I’m craving that kind of romantic person who can be there with me, or whom I can hug.
This reminds me so much of being with someone who gaslights you the whole relationship and trying to come to terms with all of the lies in the aftermath.
I am so sorry if you have ever had that. You deserve the world & more!
Words can't express how beautifully written and composed this song is. Her voice, the instrumentation everything works so well. Song of the year!
