What would you say if I suggested we run away and find a hotel to haunt
Let’s sleep all day carried by the soft sounds of people coming and going
Stay sleeping until it’s time for dinner we could order Chinese food or pizza everyday
We could catch a late movie that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but feels very artistic
Or we could stay in and gaze out over the bustling city
When you don’t have to drive in it, it starts to feel like a forest in it’s own right
As everyone checks in and starts to settle for the night we can make our way down to the bar
Let’s find a stranger and hear their life story
I want to know what brought them here and if they’re drinking to forget or celebrate
We could be apart of that for just a night just for a few hours
Once the bar closes down we could play dare in the hallways
Take some chances and feel the blood rush through you
Forget some clothes in the elevator until there’s nothing left but fingerprints
I want you to remember what it feels like to be alive
Consumed by adrenaline but always with a safe hand to pull you out
Let’s find an empty room and leave our impressions on the bed and each other
We won’t finish until we make sure the guest next door leaves with a ghost story
Keep a copy of the key to roof to watch the sunrise every day
We’ll find a breakfast place and become regulars where we don’t have to place orders anymore
What would you say if I told you that maybe one day we could escape from everything
Living as barely more than ghosts with painful memories and beautiful nows
