Alessia Cara Four Pink Walls song lyrics

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 that 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?

Now I wake up to a different bedroom every day

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 that 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 were 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
