lyrics

(rain ticking on a window)

Your head finds my shoulder again
The night bus swaying like a friend
One earbud each, the city glows
A song we only halfway know
(halfway, halfway)

Don't ring the bell, don't wake the hour
(don't wake it)
Let the streetlights stay ours

Let's ride past our stop tonight
Miss it once, then twice — all right
Let's ride past our stop, my love
The driver knows what we're made of
(past our stop, past our stop)

Your gloves are drying on the vent
The fare's the best we ever spent
The window fogs, you draw a sun
A rough sketch till the real one comes
(till it comes)

Home is not the last stop
It's wherever we don't get off
(stay on, stay on)

Let's ride past our stop tonight
Miss it once, then twice — all right
Let's ride past our stop, my love
The driver knows what we're made of
(past our stop, past our stop)

One more loop.
(ding — nobody moves)
