Every Door but Mine

Hotel Key
Hotel Key

Bent black card in a white hallway
Four a.m. above the town
I got suites in three more cities
Still can't tell which floor I'm on now
Ice machine talking to nobody
Shoes too clean for where I came
I press the card against door forty
Red light tells me wrong room again

Funny what success unlocks
Funny what it does not

Hotel Key, every door but mine
Hotel Key, gold numbers in a line
I got rooms in every city, nowhere to leave my shoes
Hotel Key, tell me what I really got to lose

Elevator mirror looks expensive
I look tired under all that chrome
Driver asks me which hotel tomorrow
I almost answer home
Then I laugh because I mean it
But I don't know which place
Has my oldest coffee mug
Or knows the morning version of my face

I thought having access meant belonging
That was an easy thing to fake
I got rooms in every city and nowhere to leave my shoes
That bent hotel keycard made it plain

Hotel Key, I want one door to know
Hotel Key, somewhere I can leave my coat
Keep the skyline and the minibar view
Hotel Key, I want a room that feels true

Hotel Key
