Four Pink Walls

I grew up memorizing all the cracks in the wall Staring up at the ceiling watching particles fall See I prayed every day for a change to be made And I'd wait to be saved, oh no Up at night, hiding under covers found my escape Shut my eyes and let the bass buzz into my brain See I knew I was destined for bigger And better but never said a thing I assumed there was only room for My dreams in my dreams so I'd sleep And repeat 'til the moon went home And I didn't know where it'd take me But made me so crazy in love with it Then the universe aligned With what I had in mind Who knew there was a life Behind those four pink walls? Now I wake up to a different bedroom everyday Living up in the clouds thinking of how it all changed Used to sit and watch paint dry Amazed by the limelight I can't ever be afraid I assumed there was only room for My dreams in my dreams so I'd sleep And repeat 'til the moon went home And I didn't know where it'd take me But made me so crazy in love with it Then the universe aligned Oh, with what I had in mind Who knew there was a life Behind those four pink walls? Oh, the universe aligned With what I wanted all this time I knew there was a life Behind those four pink walls All of the days that I wasted gazing outside the window Impatient frustrations let out into my pillow Lied awake at night while my head wandered And I wondered why Things weren't different Everything shifted overnight Went from when boredom strikes to Ms. Star on the Rise It was all in an instant man But those four pink walls, now I kinda miss them man Then the universe aligned With what I wanted all this time I knew there was a life Behind those four pink walls Those four pink walls --- Four Pink Walls - Alessia Cara
