night bus

gabrielle aplin

i'm on the night bus

i'm thinking about us

the streetlights go fleeting by

the man sat next to me

is texting somebody

i wonder what that feels like

maybe i'm reckless

but i just can't shake this

it follows me home at night

at night

it's getting clearer every mile we ride

suddenly i know

that i'm on my way home

to you for the last time

it's not what you wanted

but i know you got this

and you're gonna be fine

oh

i've just been watching

the world as it's turning

and that's what it feels like

suddenly i know

that i'm on my way home

to you for the last time

i'm on the night bus

that's crawling with lovers

who hide from the cold white light

i see my reflection

dazed and complacent

she follows me home at night

at night

it's getting clearer every mile we ride

suddenly i know

that i'm on my way home

to you for the last time

it's not what you wanted

but i know you got this

and you're gonna be fine

oh

i've just been watching

the world as it's turning

and that's what it feels like

suddenly i know

that i'm on my way home

to you for the last time

at night

at night

at night

it's getting clearer every mile we ride

suddenly i know

that i'm on my way home

to you for the last time

it's not what you wanted

but i know you got this

and you're gonna be fine

oh

i've just been watching

the world as it's turning

and that's what it feels like

suddenly i know

that i'm on my way home

to you for the last time
