<nowiki>
I was watching with one eye on the other side
I had fifteen people telling me to move
I got moving on my mind
I found shelter in some thoughts turning wheels around
I said 39 times that I love you to the beauty I had found

Well it's 1, 2, 3, 4
Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba
I'll be glad to see you later
All they got inside is vacancy

I been thinking of a little place down by the lake
They got a dirty little road leading up to the house
I wonder how long it will take till we're alone
Sitting on the front porch of that home
stomping our feet on the wooden boards
never gonna worry about locking the door

Well it's 1, 2, 3, 4
Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba
I'll be glad to see you later
All they got inside is vacancy

It might sound silly for me to think childish thoughts like these
But I'm so tired of acting tough and I'm gonna do what I please
Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest
Cause if I'm the man that you love the most, you can say "I do" at least
