Top 10 Lyrics from “Sad Songs in a Hotel Room”

10:  Smoke Slow

Addicted to illusions of a love that never was
And never will be, anyway
The nicotine don’t taste the same
If I’m not with you savorin’ every breath we take
Play with fire, take me higher

9: LA

When everything is goin’ right, they’re on your side
But just as your luck runs out, they’re harder to find

8:Sad Songs in a Hotel Room

The neighbors are knockin’, they just wanna sleep
It’s 3 AM while my guitar gently weeps


I flip through these old magazines
Dream destinations, we promised we’d see, oh

7: Used to it

You’re coverin’ up all your sins, I blame it on us bein’ kids

6: All In Due Time

Well, maybe someday it’ll all fade away
And the weight of the world won’t be mine
And maybe I’ll say at the end of the day
Who I am made it all worth the while And these scars’ll be stories I tell
All in due time

5: Sad Songs in a Hotel Room

We checked in together, I never checked out
Guess it’s heartbreak hotel  ’cause just look at us now

4: Lifeline

So let go ’cause I won’t waste another minute

This distance, we’re driftin from difference of opinion

I can’t be mad I’m not what you planned for

3: LA

So I put on a show, slap on a smile
Don’t let ’em know you’re not doin’ all too fine
Well, I’ll be fine 

2: Used to It

When I almost died, you didn’t care at all

Mama said you can’t be mad at who you wish somebody was, mhm

Well, I’m not surprised you didn’t call

1:Lifeline

Save me, now I’m facing
All my fears of the unknown
I’ve been shakin’ in my bones
