Last Bus Home

You look at your watch and take a step back.
I see it. And I'm scared.
Don't leave just like that, don't let this "maybe" hang in the air.
Let's just get on this bus — anywhere at all.

A penny for your thoughts, love,
But you say you've got nothing on your mind.
Walking through the park when night is already here,
I think we'd better pick up the pace, my love.

Oh God,
It could've been so perfect, clear and right,
But you're not a sure bet.

We gotta catch the last bus home,
Before it's too late and the wheels give out.
We gotta catch the last bus home,
Before it fades into the night.

Last bus home...
Last bus home...
Don't let it leave...
Just get us there...
Last bus home...

You can take my hand if you want to,
While we're waiting at the bus stop, under the moon.
I'll be thinking of all the times I called your name,
And you said you had nothing left to explain.

Oh God,
It could've been so perfect, clear and right,
But you're not a sure bet.

We gotta catch the last bus home,
Before it's too late and the wheels give out.
We gotta catch the last bus home,
Before it fades into the night.

Last bus home...
Fades into the night...

Maybe this is our happy mistake —
Believing we can still make it.
That one bus, one night, one chance
Can still mean something.

I'm not asking for "forever", just for "now".
Let's just go, without asking "why".
Let it be "yes" instead of "maybe".
Just get us on that last bus home.

We gotta catch the last bus home,
Before it's too late and the wheels give out.
We gotta catch the last bus home,
Before it fades into the night.

Fades into the night...

The bus pulls away.
We finally made it.
The city flickers outside the window.
We don't know where we'll get off, but we're riding.

Together.

Together...
