MxPx - Wrecking Hotel Rooms (Between This World and the Next)

I wasn’t sleeping well. I was in a hotel room overlooking the Sunset Strip. The walls seemed paper thin and I could hear noise from the street going till late. I was supposed to be writing a song.

Earlier that day I met up with Mark Hoppus at his house in Beverly Hills to write a song.
We sat down in his living room with guitars and he came up with the riff from the song but we didn’t have any lyrics yet. I left with a bunch of ideas we worked out but mainly just this riff.

So there I was back in my hotel room alone. I was feeling very strange and then I just started writing the lyrics and the rest of the song.
Mark came by Gavin Mackillop’s studio in N. Hollywood when we were all there finishing up our album Panic. He sang the harmonies and then picked up sushi for his family on the way home. (I remember him gushing about this certain sushi place he was addicted to)
And that’s how we got Wrecking Hotel Rooms.

Lyrics:

I wrecked your hotel room
I crashed up the car
Slept in the gutter
I'm outside your door

Saw you through the keyhole
Down on your knees
There's really no reason to call the police

Do you hold
The phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings
Then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there
To sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams
Though the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song

I know you don't know me
Cause we've never met
I'm not really crazy
So don't get upset

I've got all these problems
None with solutions
Been in and out of some nice institutions

Do you hold
The phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings
Then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there
To sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams
Though the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song

Do you hold
The phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings
Then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there
To sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone

I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
