“Chateau Lobby #4” is the second single from I Love You, Honeybear, following “Bored in the USA.” Like most of the album, it is inspired by his wife. In an interview with Grantland, Tillman says:
[It’s] about Emma and I running around L.A. when we first met. This mariachi band [on the song] is part...
[Verse 1]
Emma eats bread and butter
Like a queen would have ostrich and cobra wine
We’ll have Satanic Christmas Eve
And play piano in the Chateau lobby
[Chorus 1]
I’ve never done this
Baby, be gentle
It’s my first time
I’ve got you inside
People are boring
But you’re something else completely
Damn, let’s take our chances
[Verse 2]
I wanna take you in the kitchen
Lift up your wedding dress someone was probably murdered in
So bourgeoisie to keep waiting
Dating for twenty years just feels pretty civilian
[Chorus 2]
And I’ve never thought that
Ever thought that once in my whole life
You are my first time
People are boring
But you’re something else I can’t explain
Here take my last name
[Bridge]
First time, you let me stay the night despite your own rules
You took off early to go cheat your way through film school
You left a note in your perfect script:
"Stay as long as you want," and I haven’t left your bed since
[Chorus 3]
I haven’t hated
All the same things as somebody else
Since I remember
What’s going on for, uh, what are you doing with your whole life?
How about forever?
