Story Behind The Song

I just thought it would be cool to write a song about what you could hear through the walls and this is where it went. I liked the analogy of the apartments in this song - the character is trapped behind her walls both literally and figuratively.

Song Description

A shy, love-leary woman becomes obsessed with her new attractive neighbor and tries to gather the courage to introduce herself

Lyrics

Through the Walls


You pulled up on a Sunday in a Ryder truck
In cut off jeans with friends to help unpack your stuff
That apartment next door?s been empty for an eternity
And every cardboard box and beat up chair has piqued my curiosity


Through the walls I hear you walking around
Talk on the phone, but I can?t make it out
Through the walls I hear you singing low
Dream Weaver playing on the radio


This obsession has me questioning my mental health
I try to think up clever ways to introduce myself
Or should I put out that old welcome mat and pray you come to me?
And if my heart gets broke again is it any worse than this wondering?


Through the walls I hear you walking around
Talk on the phone, but I can?t make it out
Through the walls I hear you singing low
Dream Weaver playing on the radio
Through the walls can you tell I?m drifting around?
And my stranded heart is waving you down?
Through the walls I hear you laughing free
Desi & Lucy on your satellite T.V.


It?s so quiet now, did you fall asleep?
Or are you on the other side against me cheek to cheek?


Through the walls I hear you walking around
Talk on the phone, but I can?t make it out
Through the walls I hear you singing low
Dream Weaver playing on the radio
Through the walls can you tell I?m drifting around?
And my stranded heart is waving you down?
Through the walls I wonder can you see
The woman who?s wanting you desperately?


Through the walls (can you tell I?m driftin? around)
Through the walls (stranded heart is waving you down)
Through the walls (I hear you singing low)
Through the walls (Dream Weaver playing on the radio)
