Hotel Walls (Acoustic Version)

I signed the papers

For a lifelong lease

I rent the earth where I stand

And the air I breathe

Then you forget that deal you made with God

While busy finding yourself being young, being dumb and in love

It's all too easy

And you're easily bored

Never once has it crossed your mind that life's too short

And there's a third person walking behind us

A tap on the back and it's there to remind us

Life is a blink of an eye till you are no more

So, I stand back, and I watch us fall

As we break everything inside these hotel walls

Life's for rent and it called us out

So, I hand back the key as the doorman bows

They greet you welcome

With roses and champagne

When you walk through the lobby

They all know your name

But all beautiful things

Come with edges and thorns

And the body you borrowed is starting to look kind of worn

So, I stand back, and I watch us fall

As we break everything inside these hotel walls

And life's for rent and it called us out

So, I hand back the key as the doorman bows

But we're just grains in the universe

I let that comfort me when I'm anxious

This life is beautifully ugly at times

We're just grains in the universe

I let that comfort me when I'm anxious

This life is beautifully ugly at times

It's beautifully ugly at times

It's beautifully ugly at times

It's beautifully ugly at times

It's beautifully ugly at times

So, I stand back, and I watch us fall

As we break everything inside these hotel walls

You know that life's for rent and it called us out

So, I hand back the key as the doorman bows
