lyrics

Don’t want to be here
The drain of the sesh with acquaintances
Souls I do not recognise
Drinking circle to blurred night out
Talk below par
Tired kicks arresting the air
Call time with a friend of a friend who’s heading the same way home

“How was your night?”
Oh, she’d had better

And then

She said she liked how I was dancing like a nob
Feet rooted to the floor
No rhythm, nor any idea what I’d helped to inspire

Who the hell are you
From the background of the night
To the core of my designs
In one short dig at the night bus stand, oh
Cheeks pink as we smile the easiest smile
As we talk EDM and how she likes meteorology just like I do

Heart racing
I open up and tell her

I tell her all about my plan to never choose
What confidence I had
With a friend of a friend, trading dreams on the 192

And it was unspoken
As we locked eyes, smiling
And she left me, waving
This would be the one and only time
And the years have dulled the shine
That we had on that night
But I folded a page that I still turn to
If I need to know whether something’s for real

Oh

There on the night bus, I felt so alive as I was riding through the night
There on the night bus, I wish that I’d asked you if you wanted to do it again
There on the night bus, I fell head over heels for a friend of a friend
