Four Walls
Emotionally Confined: Ronnie Milsap's Reflection on Longing and Love
Lyrics
Out where the bright lights are glowing
Feeling the attraction of the vibrant city lights.
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
Being irresistibly drawn to something, like a moth to a flame.
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
Enjoying a moment of merriment while indulging in wine.
While I sit and whisper your name
Expressing solitude and longing by quietly uttering your name.
Four walls to hear me
Conveying the confinement and loneliness within four walls.
Four walls to see
Highlighting the sensory deprivation and isolation within enclosed spaces.
Four walls too near me
Emphasizing the suffocating proximity of the walls.
Closing in on me
Expressing a sense of being overwhelmed and trapped.
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
Questioning the purpose of waiting within these confined walls.
But my walls have nothing to say
Reflecting on the silent nature of the walls, offering no answers.
I'm made for love not for hating
Affirming a disposition for love rather than harboring hate.
So here where you left me I'll stay
Choosing to remain in the place where a loved one left.
One night with you is like heaven
Describing the euphoria experienced during moments of intimacy.
And so while I'm walking the floor
Expressing restlessness while anticipating a return.
I listen for steps in the hallway
Listening attentively for signs of the loved one's approach.
And wait for your knock on my door.
Anticipating the sound of a knock on the door as a signal of reunion.
Four walls to hear me
Reiterating the confinement and solitude within the four walls.
Four walls to see
Emphasizing the sensory and emotional limitations imposed by the walls.
Four walls too near me
Reinforcing the oppressive closeness of the surrounding walls.
Closing in on me
Conveying the increasing sense of confinement and pressure.
Closing in on me.
Summarizing the intensifying feeling of being closed in and restricted.
