Verse 1:
D Em7 C6 G C6 G
I write mostly on hotel paper
D Em7 C6 G C6 G
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room

I’d be out of line telling you, “leave her”
D Em7 C6 G C6 G
So I lie lonely surrounded by you
D Em7 C6 G C6 G
By you
Verse 2:
Lately I can’t be happy for no one
They think I need some time to myself
I try to smile but I can’t remember
And I know tomorrow they’ll be nothing else
Chorus:
D Em7 C6
And I
G D Em7 C6
wanted to be
G D Em7 C6 D Em7 C6 G
Giving you everything that she’s not giving
D Em7 C6
And I
G D Em7 C6
wanted to see
G Bm F#m G
Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing
Verse 3
You turned out to be more than I bargained for
And I can tell that you need to get away
Forgive me if I admit that I’d love to love you
We both realized it way too late
(Chorus)
D
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean
D Em7 C6 G C6
I write mostly on hotel paper

| Ok, first of all some of the lyrics are wrong. Here is how it is in the CD booklet: i write mostly on hotel paper knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room i'd be out of line telling you, "leave her" so i lie lonely surrounded by you by you lately i can't be happy for no one they think i need some time to myself i try to smile but i can't remember and i know tomorrow there'll be nothing else chorus: and i wanted to be giving you everything that she's not giving and i wanted to see 'cause i didn't believe what i'd be hearing you turned out to be more than i bargained for and i can tell that you need to get away forgive me if i admit that i'd love to love you we both realized it way too late chorus repeats maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean i write mostly on hotel paper Truely, this is an amazing, inspirational song. I would agree that it is her most personal song. Actually, this new CD seems to be more personal for Michelle. Most of the underlyling meaning to her songs state the same thing. It's about the past, about someone she used to love but now he's all gone. Also, it's about her place right now, where she is headed and how she feels about it. I feel the CD proves that Michelle has grown as a singer/writer. There is a particular quote in this song that I feel is extremely DEEP. "Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean" Just think about it for awhile, Michelle is an awesome writer. | |
