"Hotel Bible" lyrics - MAX MCNOWN

[Intro:]
Ohhh
Ohhh

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
Ooh
There's bright on the other side of that blue

[Chorus:]
'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
I'll strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness

[Post-Chorus:]
Ohhh
Ohhh

Remember that beach house that we stayed at in Manzanilla
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 your still that girl

[Pre-Chorus:]
Ooh
There's bright on the other side of that blue

[Chorus:]
'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
I'll strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness

[Post-Chorus:]
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh

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

[Chorus:]
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
I'll strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
