Guesthouse from Guesthouse by David Wax Museum

I have a simple request
Hope it’s not an imposition
Concerning your house for guests
And me, I’m in a time of transition

I’ve been living out of a suitcase
Sleeping in dingy rooms
I’ve never lived in LA
But I’ve always wanted to

Chorus
Can I stay in your guesthouse?
Will you let me stay in your guesthouse?
I won’t get in the way
I’ll be quiet as a mouse
No music after eight
If you let me stay in your guesthouse

There’s a lemon tree out back
I’ll make you lemonade
Leave it on the back porch so that
You never leave the shade

You chose a certain path
Found you were underdressed
Now you fly first class
And you have a house for guests

I did what made my heart sing
I threw away the oars
Now I need a place to crash
Please open up your door

I google-mapped it, there I said it
To see the street I might live on
The corner store is ayurvedic
Just past the dog salon
A gated fence with cameras on it
To keep us from the wolves beyond

The soul is a guest in the body
You’ve got to treat it right
Don’t kick it out too early
Can I just stay the night?
