hotel lights

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 dont 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 were 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
Thats the one thing you believe in
Well, then I guess were even, love
Its 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, Ive loved you from the very start
And if you should ever break my foolish heart
Dont waste your sad regrets
Dont break your tenderness
The hotel lights were ours
No matter what comes next
The hotel lights were ours
