Matt Maltese - Paper Thin Hotel Lyrics






The walls of this hotel are, paper thin
Last night I heard you making love to him
The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb
The grunt of unity, when he came in

I stood there with my head against the wall
I was not seized by jealousy at all
In fact a burden lifted from my soul
I hear that love was out of my control

I listen to your kisses at the door
I never heard world so clear before
You ran your bath and you began to sing
I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing

I stood there with my head against the wall
I was not seized by jealousy at all
In fact a burden lifted from my soul
I learned that love was out of my control

And I can't wait to tell you, to your face
And I can't wait for you to take my place
You are the naked angel in my heart
You are the women with her legs apart
Its written on the walls of this hotel
You go to heaven once you've been to hell
And I have your burden lifted from my soul
I heard that love was out of, my control

  1. M.... I....

    This song is uplifting in such a sad way

  2. W.... ....

    I think I have a new favorite artist.

  3. G.... C....

    This song makes me so emotional. I listened to it basically on repeat for weeks on end after finding out I had been cheated on. It hits incredibly close to home and brings back so many emotional memories but it is still a beautiful song <3

  4. x.... o....

    I've never been so in love before..

  50. N.... :....

    I love how everyone here is from Dodie I love her so much

  51. B.... Y....

    I more to the Dodes fam. It's great to see so many people feel the same way seeing her video! Love this song!

  52. F.... T....

    this song is so...not sad...but....emotional and I'm in love with it, I've never cried for seemingly no reason like this before

  53. e.... b....

    oh, Dodie doo

  54. F.... F....

    I love this cover so much because it doesn't try to be anything more than it's supposed to be. He does an incredible job at keeping a touch of Cohen in his singing. This song is so unmistakably Cohen, and I'm glad this cover didn't try to mask that

  55. Q.... E....

    I love this song so much, thank you so much for writing it. It has such a deep and beautiful meaning

  56. s.... b....

    Some one PLEASE do a piano tutorial for this

  57. f.... g....

    after 1:23 i keep on transitioning into "lean on me" oh god

  58. l.... ....

    WHAT ARE THE CHORDS OMG

  59. P.... R....

    DODIE KNOWS *WHATS UP*

    She is officially my new music dealer <3

  60. s.... a....

    damn. this song hits hard.

  61. L.... A....

    if someone finds the chords to this song please let me know 💓

  62. A.... B....

    pretty sure it's it's just the piano keys, but in the beginning/the quiet moments of the song it sounds as though the sound of a creaking mattress is in there

  63. K.... W....

    Who else came here because of Dodie?

  64. L.... G....

    when everyone is here because of a beautifully talented woman named dodie

  65. P.... C....

    What would this genre of music be called? I love it

  66. l.... ....

    Didn't come here bc of Dodie. I came here bc of Leonard Cohen

    l.... ....

    as did i

  67. E.... ....

    I am more than willing to bet that at least half of us are here because of Dodie Clark

  68. E.... B....

    thanks for recommending this song dodie!

  69. B.... ....

    Does anyone have the chords? I need them, please!

    B.... ....

    Currently weeping , a piece of art! Love this so much

  89. N.... ....

    It's rare that music ever makes me emotional let alone cry but here I am crying through this song and Even If It's A Lie because holy shit they are so beautiful

  90. L.... Z....

    Everyone is here from dodie

  91. J.... A....

    For all you dodie fans, it turns out this was Originally by Leonard Cohen apparently

    J.... A....

    yeah ik but leonard cohen did it shit

    J.... A....

    Desayama he agrees

    J.... A....

    @Desayama Leonard Cohen did it much better and with more feeling. The entire DEATH OF A LADIES MAN album is simply GREAT. I love the way Bob Dylan sounded on back-up vocals.

    J.... A....

    “Apparently”? You mean obviously, right? Also this rendition is so self indulgent it’s bordering on parody.

    J.... A....

    Walt whitman ova here why you gotta be an asshole?

  92. T.... K....

    Thank you Dodie

  93. S.... c....

    This song is numbing quiet and pleasant sadness

    S.... c....

    Just a simple Donut this may be the best way I've ever heard the type of music I love described

    S.... c....

    This was far too accurate of a way to describe this , thank u

  94. H.... ....

    Here from Dodie's veda! I love this.

  95. I.... ....

    THANK YOU DODIE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG

  96. H.... S....

    I love all the dodie fans here😂🖤
