Gold Motel

In a town of small talk
Cicada summers, holidays in the park
Coffee every morning
In a blue-lit room like every other day

There's a slow emergency
I can hear the alarm bell ringing
There's a slow emergency
I can hear the bell in the dark

In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

Counting up the small hours
All repeating, clocking in and out
Television evening
In the blue-lit room like any other night

There's a slow emergency
I can hear the alarm bell ringing
There's a slow emergency
I can hear the bell in the dark

In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

I can make it out
Things are going ok
I'm brushing off my doubts
But they ain't going away

Things are going ok
Things are going OK

I don't wanna know what happens next
I don't
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
I don't

In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

I don't have forever, but I'll live like I do
Feels like endless summer with the light shining through
All I have is borrowed, my skin and my bones
All I have is borrowed, but I wear these summer clothes

Every thing is just fine
Every thing is just fine
So long as I'm by your side
It's perfect in my mind

I don't have a reason, but I live like I do
The sky could crash into the ground, and we like the view
The flood runs through the canyons in New York City
I know when the hurricane comes, it's comin' for me

Every thing is just fine
Every thing is just fine
So long as I'm by your side
It's perfect in my mind

No one needs to save me
I'm already saved
No one needs to save me
I'm already saved

Every thing is just fine
Every thing is just fine
So long as I'm by your side
It's perfect in my mind
It's perfect in my mind
It's perfect in my mind

I'll never know
How we ever wound up here
All I'll ever know
Is in the rear view mirror

All I can see
Is what the headlights show me
While my only love
Is in the passengers seat

By the time you let me in your arms
We're on the run
By the time you let me in your arms
We're on the run
Buying time until the days are done
We're on the run
By the time you let me in
I won't know where to begin
Or where to stop
Where to stop

Give me a kiss
Can the headlines capture it
Can the parents handle this
Can we make it alive

Get me away
Can we reach the coast today
Can we hide the tracks we've made
Can we make it alive

By the time you let me in your arms
We're on the run
By the time you let me in your arms
We're on the run
Buying time until the days are done
We're on the run
By the time you let me in
I won't know where to begin
Or where to stop
Where to stop

By the time you let me in your arms
We're on the run
By the time you let me in your arms
We're on the run
Buying time until the days are done
We're on the run
By the time you let me in
I won't know where to begin
Or where to stop

Clutchin' your glass, spittin' your ash
Sold my heart as petty cash
On the telephone, say you're comin' home
But we both know that you won't

Once I saw through, you tried to outdo you
We were better back then when I barely knew you
A backseat kiss, a heartbreak wish
It's too late to take it all back, take it all back, take it all back

Some things end without tryin'
We turn away without warnin'
Your cold shoulders! Your cold shoulders! Your cold shoulders!
Your cold...

You're in the lead, pickin' up speed
Down on my luck, but not gonna plead
Your loyalty to your vanity
It's too late to take it all back, take it all back, take it all back

Some things end without tryin'
We turn away without warnin'
Your cold shoulders! Your cold shoulders! Your cold shoulders!
Your cold shoulders! Your cold shoulders! Your cold shoulders!
Your cold shoulders! Your cold shoulders! Your cold...

Once I saw through, you tried to outdo you
We were better back then when I barely knew you
A backseat kiss, a heartbreak wish
It's too late to take it all back, take it all back, take it all back, take it all back

Met you on a Sunday
Loved you on a Monday
Left you in the flight touch down
When each day is over
I wish that you were closer than you are right now

Safe in L.A.
Baby don't feel always near
Never too far from where you are
Coast away, waitin' for the day when we're both safe in LA
Maybe we're right, maybe we're wrong
Maybe we're both too far gone
Coast away, waitin' for the day when we're both safe in LA

Every time we're endin', every conversation
It doesn't sound quite right
'n' California's waitin'
While your face is fading
Near out of sight

Safe in L.A.
Baby don't feel always near
Never too far from where you are
Coast away, waitin' for the day when we're both safe in LA
Maybe we're right, maybe we're wrong
Maybe we're both too far gone
Coast away, waitin' for the day when we're both safe in LA

Well I've been cheated (shunned and turned away)
I stopped believing (that there would be a)
Day when you come around
Show me what I was missing
Pulled me from the lost and founds
Help me get over my bitter nights.

Another Friday (drinking at the violet hour)
No one looks my way (the loneliest one vowel)
You came around
Showed me I was missing
Pulled me from the lost and founds
Dressed me up and took me home.

No oh, Why don't we go, stealing the moonlight, oh oh,
I know, this is something good.

Well now I see it (the doubting days are gone)
You're what I needed (what I needed all along)
You came around
Showed me what I was missing
Pulled me from the lost and founds
Dressed me up and took me home.

No oh, Why don't we go, stealing the moonlight, oh oh,
I know, this is something good.

The bitter night are gone (now that you came along)
The summer nights are here (and the skies are all so clear)
The bitter nights are gone (now that you came along)

You're gone
Gone, gone, gone.

No oh, Why don't we go, stealing the moonlight, oh oh,
I know, this is something good.

Some say “Love’s a burning building,”
“Love’s a sinking ship,”
But I like the heat
I like the noise

We are fools, and we know it
Trying not to show it
With every look
Every face

At the summer house, at the summer house
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
Today

I don’t believe in anyone else
Believe in anything else
But what I can touch
What I can see

Tell me where we won’t be ruined
Where we won’t get used to it
All of the noise
All of the heat

At the summer house, at the summer house
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
Today

Tell me nothing will ruin us, will ruin us
Tell me nothing will ruin us, will ruin us

At the summer house, at the summer house
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today

No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today

Won't you change my mind?
I don't know better than to run from love
in any measure.
Won't you change my heart?
I'm leaving today.
Oh, won't you make me stay?

I think I'm in love but I should know better.
To run with one like you will only drag me under.
And I try to figure which came first.
Were you my blessing or my curse?

Won't you change my mind? I don't know better than to run from love
in any measure.
Won't you change my heart? I'm leaving today.
Oh, won't you make me stay?

Making up, I leave before the night's over.
Walking down the streets as all the shops open.
And I'm trying not to let it show.
Everyone who sees me surely knows.

Won't you change my mind?
I don't know better than to run from love
in any measure.
Won't you change my heart?
I'm leaving today.
Oh, won't you change my mind and make me stay?

Won't you change my mind?
I don't know better than to run from love
in any measure.
Won't you change my heart?
I'm leaving today.
Oh, won't you make me stay?
Won't you make me stay?
Won't you make me stay?
