Ceilings Lyrics
I haven't stopped your smoking yet
So I'll share your cigarette
Just to feel it in my fingers
Walk around 'til 3am
Tell me what I know again
To keep myself from second guessing
All my silver dreams bring me to you
Hold the summer in your hands
'Til the summer turns to sand
We were staring at our ceilings
Thinking of what we'd give
To have one more day of sun
One day of sun
Silver dreams bring me to you
So I'll share your cigarette
Just to feel it in my fingers
Tell me what I know again
To keep myself from second guessing
'Til the summer turns to sand
We were staring at our ceilings
To have one more day of sun
One day of sun

I connected with this song as it kind of describes a lot of what I have felt.
"I haven't stopped your smoking yet So I'll share your cigarette Just to feel it in my fingers"
"Walk around 'til 3am Tell me what I know again To keep myself from second guessing"
All my silver dreams bring me to you
This is the idea of thinking about the other person and finding your thoughts with them when you are not together. Hold the summer in your hands 'Til the summer turns to sand We were staring at our ceilings Thinking of what we'd give to have one more day of sun One day of sun
This is wanting to remain or go back to the time when they were happy together and wanting that back. Whilst you're with someone you don't think of the way its going to end. You don't know what you've had until it is gone.
Great song
My favourite song off the new album. I just can't get enough of that hook!
Oh, ABSOLUTELY my favorite, too! I have to force myself into not playing over and over and over. :)

As for a song meaning, (bear in mind I'm not the best at this stuff) I think it's about a girl/significant other that the singer's clinging onto anyway he can.
I was watching a podcast and Taylor introduced this song saying something like the song is about staring up at your ceiling when you're laying in bed at night.
@Lalanote Whoa. Deep. LOL. I'll try to finish that thought here by saying what the narrator thinks about when he's staring at the ceiling is how this couple's love once was and the state it's in currently, which is decrepit and crumbling... (Perhaps what his ceiling looked like if he lived in an older house.)
