Hello Walls
W. Nelson Lyrics

Hello walls (hello hello) how things go for you today
The singer greets the walls and asks how they're doing, perhaps to fill the silence since his beloved left.

Don't you miss her since she upped and walked away
The singer asks the walls if they miss his departed lover, suggesting that he himself certainly does.

And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me
The singer assumes that the walls are tired of bearing witness to his loneliness, which he doesn't blame them for.

But lonely walls I'll keep you company
The artist acknowledges that he's talking to walls, but reassures them that they aren't really alone since he'll be here with them.

Hello window well (hello hello) I see that you're still here
The artist recognizes the continued presence of the window, but also implies that he expected it to disappear like his lover did.

Aren't you lonely since our darling disappeared
The singer wonders if the window is also lonely without their beloved, but perhaps feels that the window can't understand his pain like the walls can.

Well look here is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane
The singer notices a teardrop on the window and questions if it's his own or if the window is also crying for his loss.

Now don't you try to tell me that it's rain
The artist dismisses the idea that the teardrop is simply rain, insisting that it's something more emotionally significant.

She went away and left us all alone the way she planned
The artist admits that his lover left intentionally, and that he and the walls and window are all suffering because of it.

Yes we'll have to learn to get along without her if we can
The artist recognizes that they all have to adapt to the changes and try to cope without the woman's presence.

Hello ceiling (hello hello) I'm gonna stare at you a while
The singer turns to the ceiling, perhaps to avoid the painful reminders of the walls and the window, and admits that he can't sleep.

You know I can't sleep so won't you bear with me awhile
The artist pleads with the ceiling to be patient with him while he struggles to cope with his insomnia and grief.

We gotta all stick together or else I'll lose my mind
The singer emphasizes the importance of sticking together with the walls, window, and ceiling, suggesting that interacting with inanimate objects is all he has left to keep him from going crazy.

I've got a feeling she'll be gone a long long time (hello hello)
The singer admits that he doesn't expect his lover to return anytime soon, and repeats the greeting to the walls to fill the emptiness of his surroundings.
