lyrics

Hotel city lights shine below
the dark crept up from behind the window
talking about some song I wrote
I don't remember now it was so long ago.

It was so long ago.

Blow out the candlesticks like last year
so many things have changed but not all of them so clear
she says "I love you" and I turn so red
Spent the whole damn week writing love songs in my head.

Over and over again.

You run a quarter mile to the corner store
writing all the way in a leather bound notebook slumber
she sleeps so softly under hotel sheets
I feel so dirty but she makes me clean.

I try to do right but it turns so wrong
I try to stay put but I just move on
I want to live now but it's not enough
I want to buy a house I want to be in love
I want to be in love.

(On a Monday I’m just waiting
And by Friday I’m just hating
All the time that we’re wasting
Always wasting away always wasting.

It’s all the time the things we can’t change
She says it’s alright and she is fine with it
I try to stop looking for what’s already there
I’ll try see what I have so clear.)

She tells me tales of her childhood home
of all the dogs and cats and the places that they go
and all the friends who seemed to fade away
I listen intently not a word to say.

Not a word to say.
