Intro

(Ooh)

(Yeah)

Verse 1

The condensation rings are eating into the mahogany

She’s squinting at a dead phone screen, looking for a ghost

The room service cart is a graveyard of half-eaten steak

And she’s checking for her lipstick on the rim of a plastic cup

(Yeah)

Pre-Chorus

She doesn’t ask for the Wi-Fi password anymore

Just pulls the silk over her bruised ego

The elevator is waiting on the forty-fourth floor

And she’s already halfway to the lobby

Chorus

She’s gonna scrub the expensive mistakes off her skin

She’s gonna act like she never let me in

She’s gonna tell the driver a name that isn’t mine

She’s gonna be just fine, yeah, she’s gonna be just fine

(She’s gonna)

Verse 2

I watch the red tail-lights bleed into the gray morning

While I’m ordering a fresh set of sheets from the front desk

She’ll post a photo of a coffee she didn’t finish

Filtered to hide the fact that her eyes are still heavy

(Ooh)

Pre-Chorus

She doesn’t ask for the Wi-Fi password anymore

Just pulls the silk over her bruised ego

The elevator is waiting on the forty-fourth floor

And she’s already halfway to the lobby

Chorus

She’s gonna scrub the expensive mistakes off her skin

She’s gonna act like she never let me in

She’s gonna tell the driver a name that isn’t mine

She’s gonna be just fine, yeah, she’s gonna be just fine

Bridge

The magnesium flash of the city is her only friend

She’s addicted to the way the stories always end

No heavy goodbyes, just the click of a heavy door

She’s done this a thousand times before

(A thousand times before)

Chorus

She’s gonna scrub the expensive mistakes off her skin

She’s gonna act like she never let me in

She’s gonna tell the driver a name that isn’t mine

She’s gonna be just fine, yeah, she’s gonna be just fine

Outro

She’s gonna go

(She’s gonna)

She’s already gone

(Yeah)
