Little Motel Lyrics - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

I hope that you like it in your little motel 

And I hope that the suite sleeps and suits you well 

Well, I can see it as time and a sight through smell, and 

That's why it's nice to be by yourself 

'Cause that's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' 

We treat mishaps like sinking ships, and 

I know that I don't want to be out to drift 

Well, I can see it in your eyes, like I taste your lips, and 

They both tell me that we're better than this 

'Cause that's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' 

We trade tit for tat, like that for this 

And I don't think that there was an insult that was missed 

I can see it in your eyes, like I taste your lips, and 

I'm very sorry 

'Cause that's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' 

It rained, over the remainders of a shooting star 

Landed directly on our broke-down little car 

Before that we had made a wish 

That we would be missed 

If one or the other just did not exist 

'Cause that's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for 

That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' 

That's what we're waiting for 

That's what we're waiting for 

That's what we're waiting for, aren't we?
