Story Behind The Song

This is a co-write where we came up with the concept that Earth is just a hotel, as our stay here is temporary, so we should do our best to get along and make the most of our stay.

Lyrics

EARTH HOTEL


DOWN IN THE LOBBY WATCHIN' PEOPLE GO BY
DOIN' THEIR BEST NOT TO CATCH MY EYE
BUT I'M GONNA SAY HI.... AND GIVE 'EM A SMILE
CUZ JUST A LITTLE INCH OF KINDNESS CAN GO FOR MILES

ELEVATOR MUSIC PLAYS A LENNON SONG
HE SAYS I'M A DREAMER BUT NOT THE ONLY ONE
AND THOSE WORDS LIVE ON....EVEN THOUGH HE'S GONE
IF WE GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER...WE MIGHT JUST GET ALONG

CHORUS:
WE ALL CHECK IN AND WE ALL CHECK OUT
THE TIME IN BETWEEN IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
AINT NO REASON NOT TO LOVE SOMEBODY ELSE
CAUSE WE'RE ALL JUST STAYIN' AT THE EARTH HOTEL

STRANGERS SITTIN' ALL AROUND IN THE BAR
SO CLOSE TOGETHER STILL WORLDS APART
THEY TELL YOU WHAT THEY DO BUT NOT WHO THEY ARE
IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN...IF WE OPENED OUR HEARTS

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
IT DON'T MATTER HOW LONG YOU STAY
MAKE EACH DAY COUNT ....CAUSE THE BILL IS PAID

CHORUS:
