No Vacancy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to leave the doors unlocked and leave the lights on
I used to stay awake, just counting hours all night long
I had so many empty rooms inside this chateau
Yeah, oh yeah

I'm done with sharing space with people that I don't know
Trading pieces of my heart 'til I felt shallow
I had so many empty rooms inside this chateau, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
But ever since I met you
No vacancy because of you
There's no vacancy, no empty rooms
Got no vacancy, ever since I met you
No vacancy because of you


[Chorus]
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
No vacancy, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
No vacancy, no vacancy
[Verse 2]
I used to be the type to never take a chance, oh
Had so many walls, you'd think I was a castle
I spent so many empty nights with faces I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
But ever since I met you
No vacancy because of you
There's no vacancy, no empty rooms
Got no vacancy ever since I met you
No vacancy 'cause of you

[Chorus]
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
No vacancy, no vacancy

[Bridge]
Come on, come on, listen, oh yeah
Come on, come on, listen, oh yeah
When I fell, I fell, I fell, I fell for you
So no vacancy, no vacancy

[Chorus]
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
No vacancy, no vacancy
[Outro]
Come on, come on, listen
No vacancy, oh yeah
Oh yeah, no vacancy

Genius Annotation

“No Vacancy” is a song with summer vibes about being completed and uplifted by a new person in the singer’s life.

It was released after the band took a 4 month break and a few minutes before sharing a post explaining its future. In it, OneRepublic stated that they will be releasing songs they like without worrying about making full albums with a specific sound.

In an interview with Billboard Ryan has described No Vacancy as one of his most pop type of works.

I’ve thrown all the rules out – if a song feels good and if my two-year-old kid requests it every single day for a month, it’s probably a good song. “No Vacancy” is pretty much coming out because my kids have requested it pretty much every day for the last three months.
It’s the poppiest thing we’ve ever done – I struggled with it at first. I was like, “Man, this is so pop, maybe I should give it to somebody else.”…
I wrote it thinking about my kids – you have all the space in your life and then you have kids, and that last little hole that you have in your life is completely full. The concept, to me, came from such an internal place that I was like, “You know what? I don’t care if this is the poppiest thing we’ve ever done. It feels good, and I want to roll with it.” For the first time ever, I’m embracing the idea of pop and going all the way with it.
