Hotel Lights Follow

no one's gonna screw you around
spent years keeping part of yourself down
you come around, you sell it now
like it was always your intention

gas station lights and salty air
faded blue sky on the water
feel a slip in your chest
you just wanna understand

your choices got you going over
everything that you never did
get this one right, so get gone
to zero

see how you run
see how you run

now you're on the 101
driving through the hills that don't own you
you wanna stay far away
cause you don't know how to get closer

after image, the colors went
like headlights on a hotel wall
tears are running through your hands
you just want to understand

your choices got you going over
everything that you never did
get this one right, so get gone
to zero

see how you run
see how you run

you're still talking, she's already hung up
you don't let the real you out
plastic key ring for room 218
you're only waiting for a new start

roll the words in your hand
til the meaning shoots a shiver up your spine
no where that you'll ever go
will be far enough from where you were

your choices got you going over
everything that you never did
get this one right, so get gone
to zero

see how you run
see how you run
to zero
