lyrics

(the bus again)

September, and the schedule came through on a Thursday
Fourteen countries and a winter I already know
And there is a boat in a brochure on my kitchen table
That has been there, unbought, for about four years

The bus again (the bus again)
I said yes again, the bus again
Same as every year, the bus again
The bus again

The bus again, the bus again, the bus again
Nobody made me. I read it and I said yes.
The bus again, the bus again, the bus again
And I am not going to pretend it was the diary

Here is the thing I could not say at thirty-five.
I like it. I like the bus. I like the four a.m. and the rooms.
It is not a sacrifice if it is the thing you want. It is just a life.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

The bus again, the bus again, the bus again
Nobody made me. I read it and I said yes.
The bus again, the bus again, the bus again
And I am not going to pretend it was the diary

(the bus again...)
