VERSE 1

If we had a chance we lost it baby
Years before we met
But when I’m lying here beside you
It’s easy to forget
That our love is just a small thing
And the ending always looms
So I close my eyes, believe the lies
We tell in rented rooms

VERSE 2

It’s too late for starting over
I’ve invested too much life
And I haven’t got the strength
For breaking in a whole new wife
This world that I’ve been building baby
Seems like I’ve been building my own tomb
So I play Houdini and escape
Inside these rented rooms

VERSE 3

And I should be at home now
Watching my TV
Accepting what I’ve got from life
And what it’s got from me
But I’m haunted by the thought of you
And the taste of your perfume
So I steal the time and cross the line
Inside these rented rooms


VERSE 4

I got other obligations
In this other life I lead
But though they fill the time y’know
They don’t fill the need
Cuz your body’s like a beacon baby
Burning through the gloom
It lights a path that leads me back
Inside these rented rooms
