We checked in under fake names
With a suitcase full of wine
There were palm trees on the wallpaper
And your bare feet next to mine
For one night, the world was small
Just one room, no rules at all
At the pink motel, we loved like hell
No tomorrow, nothing to tell
Heaven rang that broken bell
For us at the pink motel
Morning poured across the carpet
You were sleeping in my shirt
I already knew that leaving
Would be beautiful and hurt
For one night, the world stood still
I would probably be there still
At the pink motel, we loved like hell
No tomorrow, nothing to tell
Heaven rang that broken bell
For us at the pink motel
Room eleven, summer rain
I still dream about that name
At the pink motel, we said farewell
One last secret we’d never tell
Somewhere in me, you’re staying still
Dancing at the pink motel
