Hotel Room
Calum Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I've been thinking about last night
What's the time?
Feels like I've sat here all my life
Your ship rolls in, I'm here waiting
I don't know why, I'm paralysed
Oh what I'd do to be with you
To hear you say that I love you
But say it the way I do
There's nowhere to run tonight
It's just you and I, in this hotel room
Say that I miss you, but say it the way I do
There's nowhere to hide tonight
My eyes can't lie, the way I feel for you
Just give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
While I'm dying in this hotel room
Couldn't work out, why you gave me all those signs
Tell me now, before I lose my mind
Your ship sails in, I ain't waiting
You stand close by, and watch me cry
Oh what I'd do to be with you
Oh what I'd give
To hear you say that I love you
But say it the way I do
There's nowhere to run tonight
It's just you and I, in this hotel room
And say that I miss you, but say it the way I do
There's nowhere to hide tonight
My eyes can't lie, the way I feel for you
Just give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
While I'm dying in this hotel room
Hold out your hand
Give me a light in the dark
You know that I'm broken
Don't leave me hear broken
To hear you say that I love you
But hear it the way I do
There's nowhere to run tonight
It's just you and I, in this hotel room
And say that I miss you, but say it the way I do
There's nowhere to hide tonight
My eyes can't lie, the way I feel for you
Just give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
Oh give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
While I'm dying in this hotel room
The song "Hotel Room" by Calum Scott is a heart-wrenching ballad about unrequited love and the pain it can cause. The song starts off with the singer wondering what is on the mind of their love interest, as they can't stop thinking about the events of the previous night. They are stuck in a hotel room, waiting for their love to arrive, feeling as though they have been waiting forever. When the person finally arrives, instead of confessing their love, they stand by and watch as the singer breaks down in tears. The narrative takes a turn, and Calum sings about the desire to be loved in return, to have the person say "I love you" back in the same way that he does. The lyrics are a poignant representation of the pain associated with unrequited love.
The song's message is emphasized by the somber melody and Calum's powerful vocals, which bring out the song's emotions. The use of repetition in the chorus also gives the song a sense of urgency and emphasizes that the singer is stuck in the same place, waiting and hoping for a change in their situation. The lyrics are raw and powerful, with Calum Scott's voice dripping with emotion.
