Hotel Lights
All the girls dressed like candy
Looking oh so full in love with all the world
And the boys with their messed up hair
And secrets that they keep behind their eyes
My face was always pressed against the glass
You were the only one who ever asked
"Why don't you come inside?"
We watched the hotel lights and I was mesmerized
Voices float through the walls
And from the streets of New York City down below
Some are surprised to find the world is just as small and sad
The higher that they climb
Well I guess we're just the sentimental kind
Play that Alejandro one more time
We hope for brighter days
Just one more war away and another step behind
You once told me that when the night is frozen wait for the golden sun
If that's the one thing you believe in well, then, I guess we're even, love
It's comin' up
What once were dreams are now just souvenirs
Of the people that we used to be
Like these Chelsea nights
I had so many things to tell you love
But you were drunk with wine
You know I've loved you from the very start
And if you should ever break my foolish heart
Don't waste your sad regrets
Don't break your tenderness
The hotel lights were ours
No matter what comes next
The hotel lights were ours
