[Verse 1]
Key card on the counter
Suitcase halfway unzipped
Curtains breathing in the traffic
TV humming nonsense in the mist
Ice bucket sweating on the dresser
Your name burning through my phone
Mini bar calling me a liar
For saying I can do this on my own
[Chorus]
I’m sleepless in this hotel room
Four walls and a memory of you
Pillow cold where your head should be
I keep reaching out to sheets
I tell myself I’m making it through
But every shadow here looks like you
I’m wide awake
And the truth
Is I’m sleepless in this hotel room
[Verse 2]
Half a glass of house red
Lip mark from a stranger’s joke
Laughed along down in the lobby
Came back up to the taste of smoke
Your old shirt on my shoulder
You forgot it in July
Now it smells like cheap detergent
Can’t wash out the way we said goodbye
[Chorus]
I’m sleepless in this hotel room
Four walls and a memory of you
Pillow cold where your head should be
I keep reaching out to sheets
I tell myself I’m making it through
But every shadow here looks like you
I’m wide awake
And the truth
Is I’m sleepless in this hotel room
[Bridge]
Is this what you wanted?
Me counting cracks in the ceiling at two
I hear doors down the hallway
Every one sounds like it might be you (hey)
I pray for a fire drill
Anything to pull me from this blue
But all the sirens in this city
Ain’t as loud as missing you
[Chorus]
I’m sleepless in this hotel room
Four walls and a memory of you
Pillow cold where your head should be
I keep reaching out to sheets
I tell myself I’m making it through
But every shadow here looks like you
I’m wide awake
And the truth
Is I’m sleepless in this hotel room
[Outro]
Neon through the peephole
Daylight coming much too soon
I’ll check out
But this heartache
Stays sleepless
In every empty room
