Buses Replace Trains
Could've stayed a little longer
Plighted with a different friend
Forced him to another rooftop savoring
Kind of bored of speaking English
So I made my exit French
Just another night I'll never get back
Could've got lost on the way
Dropped my keys down the drain
Could've walked, took the train
Cycled home in the rain
But something made me take the bus
Walk up the stairs, sit at the front
Could've bought her one more glass of wine
Asked about her best friends dog
Just another stranger I won't seek again
Could've asked her back to my address
Done something just cause we can
I'm so glad I said goodbye, shook her hand
I could've called, rearranged
Not been right there on that day
Could've walked, took the train
Cycled in the rain
But something made me take the bus
Walk up the stairs, sit at the front
Imagine all the roads we choose
That build the life we can't undo
The passing ships that never meet
Imagine taking different seats
Something made me take the bus
Walk up the stairs, sit at the front
Next to you
