lyrics

The mornings aren’t cold here, I try not to bother you
The year of the dog marked me like your secret tattoo
Friends have moved on or just moved away
The city has changed, but I know a place
We can leave today

Tell me are you lonely or somewhere in between
Time moving slowly and the death of a dream
I can’t shake this feeling of what never was
Even this town has changed more than us
I don’t want to leave yet, can I just stay here
At the sunshine motel, run your hand through my hair
I don’t wanna be yet, can I stay unborn
At the sunshine motel with you in my arms

I've been getting nowhere, I’m not taking what’s mine
It’s just cold observations and cynical lines
But the swimming pool looks perfect, with you on the surface
Simmer in the twilight, your cigarette light shines
You still make me nervous

Tell me are you lonely or somewhere in between
Time moving slowly and the death of a dream
I can’t shake this feeling of what never was
Even this town has changed more than us
I don’t want to leave yet, can I just stay here
At the sunshine motel, run your hand through my hair
I don’t wanna be yet, can I stay unborn
At the sunshine motel with you in my arms

I wanna turn down these lights
At the end of the day
I can’t make you mine
Why do I try anyway
And time is a dancer
Leading you on
But you can’t move in this room
You won’t move ’til I’m gone

So tell me are you lonely
I’m somewhere in between
Time’s moving slowly
It’s the death of a dream
I can’t shake this feeling of what never was
Now all of these ghosts are changing like us
I don’t want to leave yet
Can I just stay here
At the sunshine motel
Run your hand through my hair
I don’t want to see yet
Can I stay unborn
At the sunshine motel with you in my arms
At the sunshine motel with you in the dawn
At the sunshine motel you were the one
