hotel
Todd Michael Schultz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up I was by myself
Is it the morning after I can´t tell
I just want to sleep
until you can´t remember
and check out of this soul hotel
The minibar is empty from last night
and I don´t even care about the price
The empty bottles on the ground remind
me how im feeling now
I should just submit that you were right
Im at this road hotel and by the looks
of things that done me well
I see the writings on the wall
phasing through the empty halls
I´ll check out of this soul hotel tonight
The elevator´s broken I don´t care
Cuz a jerk like me should take the stairs
We were on the tiptop now my
best friend is the belhop
I´ll check out of this soul hotel
Thinking that I should get my own place
We agreed that I would give you space
Im checking out im moving on
I know that our love is gone
I´ll dissappear from here without a trace
Im at this road hotel and by the looks
of things that done me well
I see the writings on the wall
phasing through the empty halls
I´ll check out of this soul hotel tonight
I see the writings on the wall
phasing through the empty halls
I´ll check out of this soul hotel tonight
Im at this soul hotel and i´ve been hoping
you´d come ring the bell
and meet me in the room upstairs
I go with you anywhere
I´ll check out of this soul hotel tonight
Im at this road hotel and by the looks
of things that done me well
I see the writings on the wall
phasing through the empty halls
I´ll check out of this soul hotel tonight
I see the writings on the wall




phasing through the empty halls
I´ll check out of this soul hotel tonight
