Dominic Fike – 4×4 Lyrics

‘4×4’ is Dom’s way of reflecting on the pursuit of a perfect life, and what it feels like to make it to that point just to realize that it wasn’t worth it. The idea of a fairytale love is what he always dreamed of, but with each and every let down in life, that dream was shattered. He carries an emotion so heavy that it made him pose the question, “if you could do it all over again, would you?”

4×4 Lyrics by Dominic Fike

[Verse 1]
A million miles to a cemetery
A flower across your chest
A tear on a smile as you pray to a sky
But it won’t bring back your breath
You know it isn’t the love that you wish for
That you were misinformed as a child
‘Cause everything in those beautiful stories
Was only a part of the lie
That told you every tongue that you kissed was a royal
And you know that your godmother flies
And it all seems so important
‘Til you’re drifting off at night

[Chorus]
And the weight of your eyes and your face when you cry
Make the days you were young seem ages ago
If you could stay, would you go?
If you could stay, would you go?

[Post-Chorus]
Four-by-four
You build your own life story
Build your own life story
Build your own
La-da-da, yeah

[Verse 2]
A million miles and a year went by
And you still can’t find your breath
Your tears went dry as you pray to a god
But he won’t bring back the dead
And it was never a love that you wished for
Even when you were just a child
‘Cause you knew everything in the stories
Were only a part of a lie

[Chorus]
And the weight of your eyes and your face when you cry
Make the days you were young seem ages ago
If you could stay, would you go?
If you could stay, would you go?

[Post-Chorus]
Four-by-four
You build your own life story
Build your own life story
Build your own
Four-by-four
You build your own life story
Build your own life story
Build your own
