Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shadows on my wall
And voices in the hall
I'm makin' up my own scene
Hangin' out in room 13
I pull down the blackout shade
And watch the TV start to fade
Deadbolt on the lock
And I unplug the digital clock
[Verse 2]
Well, I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinkin' about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh, when it's not enough
[Verse 3]
The walls are paper thin
And they seen everybody's sins
All the liquor stores are closed
And I'm sleepin' with the ghosts
[Verse 4]
Well, I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinkin' about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh, when it's not enough
[Verse 5]
I just want to do the right thing
But I get dragged down on the wrong side
[Verse 6]
The girl on the telephone
She asked me when I'm comin' home
And I'm fallin' somewhere in between
What she says and what she means
It was something that was said
Before the phone went dead
Like the sound of the fallin' rain
And the rumble of a train
[Verse 7]
Well, I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinkin' about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh, when it's not enough
[Verse 8]
Thinkin' about love
Thinkin' about love
Thinkin' about love
Thinkin' about love
Thinkin' about love
