Max McNown - Hotel Bible Lyrics

It's been a while since your smile reached for those eyes
You say you're fine but I don't think I believe it
You're treading water in a thunderstorm of lies
And lately you can't shake that sinking feeling

There's bright on the other side of that blue

'Cause you and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
So don't you go and dim it
And if that flame turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness

Remember that beach house that we stayed at in Manzanita?
We sipped on wine and swore we'd change the world
Carefree and naive, not a hundred bucks between us
Hand on a hotel bible, swear you're still that girl

There's bright on the other side of that blue

'Cause you and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
Darling, don't you go and dim it
And if that flame turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness

It's been a while since your smile reached for those eyes
And I'll be right by your side until I see it

You and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
So don't you go and dim it
And if that flame turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
