And the dusty couch
You would run around
To try and catch me through the house
And the worn out rug
And the door above
Could not walk by without a hug
Four walls
And an empty space
Did your tires screech?
Did you ever reach
That place that you were going to?
Did you get there fast
As you wanted to?
Were they waiting there for you?
Four walls
And an empty space
When I put my arms around you
And I told you it would be alright
I wasn't so sure
And it may turn out that I was lying
I was trying to convince you
That I knew the reasons how and why
And I knew the difference between see you later
And goodbye
Stretched across my ribs
In this fleshy drum
From where the laughter used to come
And all the space
'tween my lips and chin
That would flatten when I grinned
Four walls
And an empty space
