Hotel Keys (Evening) lyrics
You show up late with somebody’s friends
I don’t ask where you’ve been
There’s a bottle sweating by the bed
And your lipstick on the rim
We let the same record play
While everybody disappears
You know exactly what I take
You know exactly why I’m here
And I like you better this close
When there’s nothing we have to know
You put your hand under my shirt
Say, “Baby, where else would you go?”
Stay until it wears off
Stay until the room stands still
I don’t know if it’s you I want
But right now I know I will
Stay until the sun comes
We can let tomorrow wait
I don’t wanna know what this is
I just know I want the taste
Of you
When everything feels good
Of you
Like I knew it would
Five in the morning, order two
Breakfast coming up at six
There’s a girl asleep out by the pool
There’s a number on your wrist
You leave your earrings by my sink
Your heels beside the door
Little pieces of you everywhere
Like you’ve done this all before
And lately when you’re getting dressed
You take your time with it
Like you’re waiting for a reason
I’m too careful to give
You know me better than you should
You know when I’ve had enough
You know which nights I want your body
Which nights I just want your touch
Stay until it wears off
Stay until the room stands still
I don’t know if it’s you I want
But right now I know I will
Stay until the sun comes
We can let tomorrow wait
I don’t wanna know what this is
I just know I want the taste
Of you
When everything feels good
Of you
Like I knew it would
Don’t turn the lights on
Not yet, not yet
Don’t put your clothes on
Not yet, not yet
I’ve got nowhere to be
You’ve got nowhere to go
We can make another night
Out of what we don’t know
You ask what I’m doing Sunday
Like it’s nothing, fixing your hair
And for once there’s no music playing
No one else is here
I could tell you to come over
I could tell you that I’m free
But Sunday afternoon
You might see too much of me
So I kiss you
And you let me
And neither of us asks again
Stay until it wears off
Stay until the room stands still
Maybe it was always you I wanted
Maybe I just like how this feels
Stay until the sun comes
We can let tomorrow wait
’Cause I only know how to love you
When there’s something in the way
Of you
Of me
Of everything we might be
Stay until it wears off
Then stay a little more
Your earrings by my sink
Your number in my phone
Sunday comes around
I leave them both alone
