Modest Mouse Lyrics
"Little Motel"

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 as sight through smell.
That's why it's nice to be by yourself.

'Cuz that's what I'm waiting for.
That's what I'm waitin' for
That's what I'm waitin' for aren't I?
That's what I'm waitin' for
That's what I'm waitin' for
that's what I'm waitin' for darlin'

We treat mishaps like sinking ships,
And I know that I don't want to be put 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.

'Cuz that's what I'm waiting for.
That's what I'm waitin' for
That's what I'm waitin' for aren't I?
That's what I'm waitin' for
That's what I'm waitin' for
that's what I'm waitin' for darlin'

We trade tit for tat, yeah 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.

'Cuz that's what I'm waitin' for,
That's what I'm waitin' for,
That's what I'm waitin' for, aren't I?
That's what I'm waitin' for
That's what I'm waitin' for
That's what I'm waitin' for darlin'

The remainders of a shooting star landed directly on our broke-down little car.
Before then we had made a wish that we would be missed
if one or another just did not exist.

'Cuz that's what we're waiting for, that's what we're waiting for,
that's what we're waitin' on, aren't we?
That's what we're waitin' for, that's what we're waiting for,
That's what we're waitin' on darling.
That's what we're waitin' for, that's what we're waiting for,
That's what we're waitin' on darling.

That's what we're waitin' for
that's what we're waitin' for
that's what we're waitin' on, aren't we?
