Somewhere in the same hotel,
Was it in the bar?
I saw you once, but I don’t know who you are.
I don’t usually obsess, but I confess,
I wish I knew you well.
All I know is, here I am and there you are, somewhere in the same hotel.

Somewhere in the same hotel,
Yesterday we passed again,
And I thought you looked my way.
I don’t want for this to be a fantasy,
But as far as I can tell,
You’re alone just like me, here at night, somewhere in the same hotel.

Maybe you’re in the next room?
Or just across the hall?
Maybe somebody’s waiting,
At home for you to call?

I’m yearning in the morning light,
Of the dawning day,
Cos we missed our chance,
And I have to go away.
I don’t even know you’re name?
But all the same,
I hope you’re sleeping well,
If you’re still there all alone,
Cos I’m no longer,
Somewhere in the same hotel.
