lyrics

You’ve been searching far, searching wide
And holding out for the best
But sooner or later you’re gonna need some rest
Cause when the night gets heavy and you’re on your own
And you got nowhere to go
It gets hard to say no when you’re feeling low
And those roadside motels sure look good
When you’re tired an overdone
Yeah five stars would be great
But you’ll settle for one
And you’ve been searching for someone to trust
Who never will betray (you)
Like the kind of love you see in an old cliché
But of all the lovers on display
At the broken heart buffet
It won’t be the one who gets away
It won’t be the one you hoped would stay
It’ll be the only one who’s left at the end of the day
And those roadside motels sure look good
When you got nowhere to run
Five stars would be great
But you’ll settle for one
And when push comes down to shoving
With the one that you’re loving
You’re gonna find love’s full of surprises
And compromises
And now you seem so certain that you’ll know
When it’s time to settle down
But you won’t recognize it when it comes around
Cause love won’t get you with no sucker punch
It won’t hit ya when you’re looking away
It won’t be a holler of hurray
It won’t be fireworks on new years day
It won’t come swift like a bird of prey
It won’t be shining like the milky-way
No it’ll be a long and slow decay that will eat you away
And those roadside motels sure look good
When you’re tired and overdone
And you ain’t got nowhere else left to run
And when the Hilton ain’t got vacancies
And you ain’t got a reservation
Five stars would be great
But you’ll settle for one
You know that roadside motel it’s still waiting for you
It’s all glowing in the setting sun
Five stars would be great
Oh but eventually, we all settle for one.
