beneath the motel lights

[Verse 1]
I checked in late on Friday night
You stood beneath the motel light
You smiled and brushed away your hair
I felt some magic in the air

[Verse 2]
We talked until the stars grew pale
You told me every little tale
And let the night forget our cares
While moonlight rested on the stairs

[Pre-Chorus]
I knew before the morning came
I had to see you once again

[Chorus 1]
My room is cold, the pillows cheap
But you’re the reason I can’t sleep

[Chorus 2]
The coffee sucks, the bed's too small
But you somehow improve it all

[Verse 3]
We laughed beneath the fading moon
I knew we had to leave there soon
The highway hummed beyond the light
But something new began that night

[Bridge]
The morning came, the sky turned blue
And still I sat there next to you
My suitcase waited by the door
I knew what I was waiting for

[Chorus 1]
My room is cold, the pillows cheap
But you’re the reason I can’t sleep

[Chorus 2]
The coffee sucks, the bed's too small
But you somehow improve it all

[Chorus 3]
My bags are packed beside the bed
While you’re still dancing in my head

[Chorus 4]
The morning sun is shining through
And all I wanna see is you

[Outro]
And all I wanna see is you
And all I wanna see is you
And all I wanna see is you
