If I am turning into my mother tell me that 
You could still love her 
If I am going insane oh tell me that 
You could pump the brakes

So I fell in love over pinball 
On the second floor of that hotel 
Playing in portland for keeps 
Oh we fell in love over pinball 
On the second floor of that hotel
Now wide awake is better than a dream

If you are slipping into darkness
I will build a homemade lighthouse 
If we are breaking bones to keep this 
We’ll find a way to fix it to fix it

If you have the tendencies of your father 
Then I will stay calm as water 
If we are turning into our parents 
Then we will remember that hotel

Talking about lifetime and turning into a mother 
No one else I’d rather be 
Now we’re talking about forever and turning into a father 
You say it’s better than a dream 

So I fell in love over pinball 
On the second floor of that hotel 
Playing in portland for keeps 
Oh we fell In love over pinball 
On the second floor of that hotel
Now wide awake is better than a dream

If I am turning into my mother tell me that 
You could still love her.
