You Miss Me? (Room 804)

Paroles de « You Miss Me? (Room 804) »

City rain on the window... — AC hums like a choir,
Two hotel slippers, the static on the line climbs higher.

Paper walls, late calls, time-zone math at 3 a.m.,
Chopsticks drumming on the desk till you pick up again.
Corded handset hums in place, a tone I can’t ignore
You whisper down the line; I load the hook and aim for more.

I write your name in window steam jusqu’à mon cœur;
Distance means nothing je reviens, mon amour.

You miss me? I miss you more.
Slow-dancing with a pillow encore.
Every ring, I pace the floor.
You miss me? I miss you more.
MISS YOU MORE!

I count the bathroom spots, a galaxy of dots,
The TV loops five channels; I learn the exit plots.
I moonwalk in tighty-whities past glowing exit signs,
Make sudoku with the notepad, rate the room-service wines.
I ninja to the room-service cart pockets clinking, pilfered shots,
My only guest is boredom checking in , yeah, I’m losing lots.

I hung the Do Not Disturb sign, my little flag of hope,
I’m booking every mile between us, hold tight, hold tight.

You miss me? I miss you more.
Slow-dancing with a pillow encore.
Every ring, I pace the floor.
You miss me? I miss you more.
MISS YOU MORE!

ROOM EIGHT-O-FOUR FLOOR SHAKES HEART ROARS!
MINI-FRIDGE HUM NOISE DROPS HEART SOARS!
TIMEZONE BOSS FIGHT ROLLING CRITS OF HOPE!
HOLD THE LINE TIGHT
DUN DUN DA-DUN! DUN DUN DA DUN!

I’ll trade these keycards for our home,
These blackout curtains for your dawn.
Say “come back, chéri” and I’ll be gone
All the miles between us , moving on.

You miss me? I miss you more.
Slow-dancing with a pillow encore.
When the lobby lights restore
You miss me? I miss you more.
HOME SOON SURE!

City rain turns soft and warm
You miss me? Je reviens à la maison...
