Balcony Motel

Verse 1  
I watched you from the motel rail  
Your fingers tracing air like braille  
You didn’t wave but didn’t go  
Just watched the parking fill with glow  

Chorus  
Balcony motel at night  
We spoke like thieves beneath the light  
Our voices thin our truths too late  
We closed the door but kept the gate  

Verse 2  
Your dress was damp from ocean wind  
You said “we start, we never end”  
I lit a match and let it fall  
You turned away and faced the wall  

Chorus  
Balcony motel at night  
We spoke like thieves beneath the light  
Our voices thin our truths too late  
We closed the door but kept the gate  

Bridge  
We didn’t sleep we didn’t try  
Just let the hours move and lie  

Outro  
And still that room remains the same  
A postcard burned without your name
