I got the hook idea from the title of a book by Jamie Ford, and some of the idea for it from a movie Same time next year and some of my ideas all wrapped up into this.

Lyrics
There’s a little place on the California coast
With Victorian houses on a cobbled street
Where lovers can hide away a day or two
At the hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet
She never really liked the suburban crowd
He got bored with numbers on a balance sheet
Once a year they would steal away for a weekend
At the hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet
In the fall she'd say she had to get away
While he’d say he had to catch a business flight
They’d keep warm wrapped in each other’s arms
Forget all that’s wrong and live for the night
They made their escape from that cul-de-sac life
Where the ladies garden and the men compete
The things they truly desired were waiting for them
At the hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet
