Alva Letra

The Motel Life

Retreat

Letra de Alva
We lived at the bottom of a mountain
The avalanche was coming so we bought ourselves an apartment
This city is split in two and I'm stuck at the center
I'm lost and confused this was such a mistake
The words will follow you like the smoke in your lungs
You can't speed up a heartbeat to tempo of your tongue
So let the crosswords fill with their letters
And I will think about the nights
We spent with each other

I have a picture where everyone is crossed out
Everyone that I'd like to forget about
I will never be better
When things were falling apart
you were there to pick me back up

There's just something about the music that you play
That cuts me like a knife and keeps me awake
It may make me feel alone, but at least you feel alive
You've always been so good at going up
And singing a lie

I have a picture where everyone is crossed out
Everyone that I'd like to forget about
I will never be better
When things were falling apart
you were there to pick me back up
