MOTEL 6 SERENADE

Verse 1

I’m in a Motel 6 in Phoenix
Trying to find your name in the White Pages.
But you’re not there.
Or I can’t figure out your self-expression.
Too many years since I’ve seen you
And don’t know when I’ll see you again.

Chorus
Memory fades a yellowed page.
Teachers, rules and swimming pools.
Signposts of an awkward age.
Feigning cool in high school.

Verse 2

I still have your senior picture
And the ones we took in downtown Vicenza.
We were sixteen and you were my best friend, my alter ego.
You always said I’d be a loner.
You knew; you knew, you knew, you knew you knew.

Chorus
Memory fades…a yellowed page.
Teachers, rules and swimming pools.
Signposts of an awkward age.
Feigning cool in high school.
Memory fades, a yellowed page
But I still see your face.

Bridge
Sometimes I think about you and I almost start to cry.
Sometimes I think about you and a tear comes to my eye.
Chorus (Repeat 3 Times)
Memory fades…a yellowed page.
Teachers, rules and swimming pools.
Signposts of an awkward age.
Feigning cool in high school.
