She leaned across her laptop
Pushed her hair away
It fell like a Niagara
Swept the boy away
He tried to keep it nonchalant
But nothing in his look
But I think she saw him comin'
She read him like a book

The promises I made
I left them in the rain
The taillights hypnotize me
They dull me to the pain
I didn't realize
I had such a talent to betray
Until I found my way
To Hanger Lane

The Intercontinental
Has seen it all before
The last-chance elevator
The hollow at the core
The door that locked behind me
The chemical embrace
Two bodies in oblivion
Lost in time and space

The promises I made
I left them in the rain
The taillights hypnotize me
They dull me to the pain
I didn't realize
I had such a talent to betray
Until I found my way
To Hanger Lane
