5 Seasons Motel (Just Kiss Me) (Lyrics by Kevin Lay)

If I recall we were kids
And kids like to hide
We’re goofing at some family function
In an old motel
You took me by my mittened hands – Because it’s Winter

You looked into my eyes and said flat-out
One day I’m gonna marry you

(we moved away, you cried -
are you even gonna miss me)

Chorus:
Go on I say, go on and make me yours
Go on that way
Just kiss me now

It’s more years later
I see you in a sweater – because another Winter
We’ve checked into this same motel
For the weddings of some separate friends

We talked and laughed about the way things sometimes
Begin and sometimes end

(I had put my heart away
since someone done unhitched me now)

It’s two years on I see you in a parking lot
Near that same motel can you believe it
Things are blooming – because it’s Spring

We laughed again
Bout how you said that thing
You made a joke bout how some bells
Ya just can’t un-ring
(we push away
we say hey this is you and me here
now now)

(Chorus)

It’s one year on, I’ve met someone online
That I adore – it’s you
And you have too – it’s me
Now it’s boilin’ like neckbones –
Because it’s Summer

We’ve checked into this same motel
We hit the sheets- forever friends
You look into my eyes and flat-out say
I’m gonna bury you
Then I’m gonna marry you

(go on I say, go on and make me yours
just kiss me now)

(Chorus)

It’s so many years on
We’ve checked into this same motel
Still standing but gone to hell
Still golden to us – because it’s Autumn

We’ve come to honor our mutual friend
Who’s going in the dirt

Eyes full of hurt
We hold each others hand
And say baby I don’t wanna ever carry you

(what‘s that you say
I’m deaf to any rhyme beyond your
boyhood vow)

(Repeat Chorus)
