📜 Lyrics
People on the bus, with necks craned down
Driver calls for Forest Avenue
Water pipes bust under pressure
It’s your first big city winter
Can I leave pointless thoughts I had today
On your answering machine
And lie that I don’t care if you don’t answer
When I just wanna hear your voice?
I always hope you’re doing better
Love’s just preparing for disaster every day
The couple through the wall, a year together this spring
Screams at each other over money
While you wonder how love can get so bad
They’re just trying to make it work somehow
While you watch warplanes killing in slow motion
Do you hate the world like I do?
It should be bank windows collapsing
And not you into your bed
Ancient thoughts of "what can I do?"
Echoed endless across a blank view
Of a bus on Forest Ave
If you could reach across a screen
And know that life is more than breathing
Till you’re tired, broke, and given up
No, my lungs were built for screaming
That I’m drunk and you are beautiful
There’s people sleeping in the snow
While parents tuck their children into bed
And for what future, I don’t know
This is a bus across America
I just hope you’re not alone
I will not hear from you within the month
But I know that’s how it goes
I know that's how it goes
