Jesse Malin - Room 13

Shadows on my wall
And voices in the hall
I'm making up my own scene
Hanging out in room 13
I pull down the blackout shade
And watch the TV start to fade
Deadbolt on the lock
And I unplug the digital clock

Well I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinking about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh when it's not enough

The walls are paper thin
And I've seen everybody's sins
All the liquor stores are closed
And I'm sleeping with the ghost

Well I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinking about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh when it's not enough

I just want to do the right thing
But I get dragged down on the wrong side
The girl on the telephone
She asked me when I'm coming home
And I'm falling somewhere in between
What she says and what she means
It was something that was said
Before the phone went dead
Like the sound of the falling rain
And the rumble of a train

Well I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinking about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh when it's not enough
