You're standing at my door
There's nobody else here
Except you and me
Okay, come on in first
The rest happens by itself
In room four eight three
Prechorus 1
In here, it's never really day
The light comes from the minibar
And tomorrow it won't be bright here either
Welcome to the hotel
Chorus 1
We just wanted to talk
And now you're lying here
And I'm lying beside you
Talking, talking
Verse 2
Come here
We won't be disturbed
I've already sorted that out
No matter where we are tomorrow
The world is inside here now
Lay down again
Prechorus 2
I listen to you, I see your face
Your lips part
Please speak slowly, not too fast
Welcome to the hotel
Chorus 2
We just wanted to talk
And now you're lying here
And I'm lying beside you
Talking, talking, talking
Verse 3
Alarm at the door
The whole world calls
Everyone pulls at me
I want nobody except you
Talking, talking
Chorus 3
We just wanted to talk
And now you're lying here
And I'm lying beside you
Talking, talking
Chorus 4
We just wanted to talk
And now you're lying here
And I'm lying beside you
Talking, talking, talking
