Regrets

Lyrics

Paying at the Holloway, it's 35 dollars a night Check in through a man named Kim He's got a call and an angry wife And I can hear the Spanish screams Of girlfriends in the other rooms Who are not like me And they say Make no regrets Don't slow down This time Upstairs in a plastic room Half-stare and watching old cartoons I turn down the bed Waiting an hour or more For footsteps and an open door I take off my watch And I hope you come back safe this time From your copping spree in Little Mexico Underneath an LA traffic light And they say Make no regrets Don't slow down This time I feel you staring down at me You lean to burn a cigarette And I roll up my sleeve and you say you'll never leave And I'll never get away As long as I keep still and I hold my breath And with the shame, I fall down into sleep And they say Make no regrets Don't slow down This time
