Four Pink Walls

Alessia Cara

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
