Guesthouse Lyrics by David Wax Museum

Guesthouse

2015

[Verse 1]
I have a simple request
Hope it's not an imposition
Hope it's not an imposition
I have a simple request
Concerning your house for guests
And me I'm in a time of transition
I have a simple request
Hope it's not an imposition
[Verse 2]
I've been living out of a suitcase
Sleeping in dingy rooms
Sleeping in dingy rooms
I've been living out of a suitcase
[Bridge]
I've never lived in LA but I've always wanted to
I've never lived in LA but I've always wanted to
[Chorus]
Can I stay in your guesthouse?
Will you let me stay in your guesthouse?
I won't get in the way I'll be quiet as a mouse
No music after late
If you let me stay in your guest house
[Verse 3]
There's a lemon tree out back
I'll make you lemonade
I'll make you lemonade
There's a lemon tree out back
I'll leave it on the back porch
So you never leave the shade
There's a lemon tree out back
I'll make you lemonade
[Chorus]
Can I stay in your guesthouse?
Will you let me stay in your guesthouse?
I won't get in the way I'll be quiet as a mouse
No music after late
If you let me stay in your guest house
[Verse 4]
You chose a certain path
Found you were underdressed
Found you were underdressed
You chose a certain path
Now you fly first class
And you have a house for guests
You chose a certain path
Found you were underdressed
[Verse 5]
I did what made my heart sing
I threw away the oars
I threw away the oars
I did what made my heart sing
Now I need a place to crash
Please open up your door
Now I need a place to crash
Please open up your door
[Chorus]
Can I stay in your guesthouse?
Will you let me stay in your guesthouse?
I won't get in the way I'll be quiet as a mouse
No music after late
If you let me stay in your guest house
[Verse 6]
I googled mapped the day I said it
To see the street that I'd live on
To see the street that I'd live on
I googled mapped the day I said it
Corner stores are evaded
Just past the dark salon
They gave us a fence with cameras on it
To keep us from the wolves beyond
[Verse 7]
The soul is a guest in the body
You got to treat it right
You got to treat it right
The soul is a guest in the body
Don't kick it out too early
[Bridge x11]
Can I just stay the night?
[Outro]
Can I stay in your guesthouse?
Will you let me stay in your guesthouse?
