|
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 is 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 |
|
To our surprise, we 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 |
|
Another step behind |
|
You once told me that when the night |
|
Is frozen wait for the golden sun |
|
That's the one thing you believe in |
|
Well, then I guess we're even, love |
|
It's coming off |
|
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 |
