Hotel St. Cecilia
Rediscovering Passion: A Rendezvous at Hotel St. Cecilia
Lyrics
I know it's been while
Expressing acknowledgment of the passage of time since a previous event or encounter.
Maybe too long
Suggesting that the duration of time might have been excessive.
I could be right
Uncertainty regarding one's judgment or perspective.
or I could be so, so wrong
Recognizing the possibility of being completely mistaken.
I wrote you this letter
Referring to a written communication addressed to someone.
And I meant it
Asserting the sincerity or truthfulness of the contents of the letter.
I oughta know better
Acknowledging a personal failing or mistake despite knowing better.
But I still sent it
Despite knowing it might not be wise, the letter was still sent.
Won't you meet me at the Hotel St. Cecilia
Inviting the person to rendezvous at the Hotel St. Cecilia.
We'll be saints turned sinners and back again
Describing a transformative experience from virtuous to sinful and back.
You're not the only one that's lonely
Indicating shared feelings of loneliness or isolation.
Oh I can feel ya
Empathizing with the emotional state of the other person.
So come and find me at the Hotel St. Cecilia
Asking the person to come and locate the singer at the Hotel St. Cecilia.
Only thing missin' is
Highlighting the absence of a particular tactile sensation.
Your fingertips
Expressing a desire for physical contact through the touch of fingertips.
No don't say a word
Requesting silence until a specific action, likely a kiss, takes place.
Not until we kiss
Linking the initiation of communication to the act of kissing.
Won't you meet me at the Hotel St. Cecilia
Repeating the invitation to meet at the Hotel St. Cecilia.
We'll be saints turned sinners and back again
Reiterating the idea of transformation from virtue to sin and back, suggesting a cyclical nature.
You're not the only one that's lonely
Reassuring the person that they are not alone in their feelings of loneliness.
Oh I can feel ya
Reaffirming the singer's ability to empathize with the other person's emotions.
So come and find me at the Hotel St. Cecilia
Encouraging the person to find the singer at the Hotel St. Cecilia.
I know it's been awhile
Repeating the sentiment expressed in the first line, emphasizing the passage of time.
Maybe too long
Similar to line 2, suggesting a prolonged absence or delay.
I could be right
Reiterating the uncertainty regarding one's judgment or perspective.
Or I could be so, so wrong
Restating the uncertainty about being completely mistaken.
