The walls are all black
A lone lamp lights the room
Reminding me of when you told me I left too soon
So I pulled you to the middle of it
But the furniture was too close
And you looked at me
While we ended up dancing with everybody
In an empty room
An empty space
Your face can light up this place
Now the walls are all white
From a bucket of paint last night
It’s all right
I’m staying in with the lights out tonight
And I reached out but you’re not there
And I grasped at the open air
And no one even looked at me
I never wanted them to see
An empty room
An empty space
Your face can light up this place
Now the walls are all blue
I painted the ceiling, too
From black, to white, to blue
For you
But you haven’t seen it since
The walls that I tore down
And when I think of you
I don’t have to look around
In an empty room
An empty space
Your face can light up this place
