“Vacancy” is track 2 of It Never Goes Out (originally released under the name The Hotel year). This is an interesting song for The Hotelier, as its lyrics are far more ambiguous than most of the songs on It Never Goes Out or Home, Like NoPlace Is There. However, it does still retain some clear, real...
You're so old now
Your bearings are shot
You're a caved in roof
You're falling apart
Your nights are spent lying on the couch
Hoping to forget...
You can't fix this
Because it's burning down
You can't fix me
Because I'm so burnt out
When that sun crept over those stairs
We were lighting fires on our hands
We held the fate of everything we loved
In our hands
You can't fix this
Because it's burning down
You can't fix me
Because I'm so burnt out
The strain in my back
Has left me here
I keep choking
On my fears
On my loose ends
All the strength leaves
The ghosts alone
Oh, we are the same
You can't fix this
Because it's burning down
You can't fix me
Because I'm so burnt out
Vacancy was produced by Ian Van Opijnen.
