Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I grew up memorizin' all the cracks in the wall
Starin' up at the ceilin', watchin' 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, hidin' 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
[Verse 2]
I assumed that there was only room
For my dreams in my dreams, so I'd sleep
And repeat till the moon went home
And I didn't know where it'd take me
But made me so crazy in love with it
[Verse 3]
Then the universe aligned (The u, the u, universe aligned)
Oh, with what I had in mind (With what, the goal I already had in mind)
Who knew there was a life
Behind those four pink walls?
[Verse 4]
Now, I wake up to a different bedroom everyday
Livin' up in the clouds, thinkin' of how it all changed
Used to sit and watch paint dry
Amazed by the limelight, I can't ever be afraid
[Verse 5]
I assumed that there was only room
For my dreams in my dreams, so I'd sleep
And repeat till the moon went home
And I didn't know where it'd take me
But made me so crazy in love with it
[Verse 6]
Then the universe aligned (The u, the u, universe aligned)
Oh, with what I had in mind (With what, the goal I already had in mind)
Who knew there was a life
Behind those four pink walls?
[Verse 7]
Oh, the universe aligned (The u, the u, universe aligned)
With what I wanted all this time (With what, the goal I wanted all the time)
I knew there was a life
Behind those four pink walls
[Verse 8]
All of the days that I wasted gazin' 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
[Verse 9]
Then the universe aligned (The u, the u, universe aligned)
With what I wanted all this time (With what, the goal I wanted all the time)
I knew there was a life
Behind those four pink walls
[Verse 10]
Those four pink walls
