Juliana Hatfield Or So They Say lyrics

there is a hotel
over on mission hill
and it's a decent place to stay
or so they say

i always stayed away
i heard it was dangerous
they cleaned up mission hill
or so they say

but i don't know cuz all i know
it never changes in this room
and every day is exactly the same

love is alive it's real
people are breaking through
having emotional moments
that don't destroy you


sounds coming from upstairs
music and dancing feet
i'm welcome to join the party
or so they say

but they don't know that all i know
is how to be by myself
i don't know what they know
i try to see so i can follow

but i'm walking on eggshells on eggshells
on eggshells around everyone
friends and strangers and family
so ill at ease
