Window Seat on the Night Bus

Lyrics

Window seat, the glass is cool against my cheek
City lights are smearing gold, I haven't said a word all week
Stranger on the other side is humming something low
I wonder if he knows the song I thought nobody would know
Night bus rolling slow through the avenue
Every stop a heartbeat, every light a clue
I'm not looking for a story, I'm just riding through
But the lights keep whispering about you

Maybe it's the hour, maybe it's the rain
Maybe I just miss you on this midnight lane

Window seat, window seat, take me through the night
Counting all the city lights, holding on so tight
Window seat, window seat, if you were here with me
I'd lean into your shoulder and let the whole town be

Reflection in the window, that's me and a ghost
Of the almost, the maybe, the one I wanted most
You said you'd call tomorrow, then tomorrow turned to rain
Now I sing it in the dark like a soft refrain
Driver gives a nod when I step up the stair
Kind eyes in the mirror, a little midnight prayer
Every stop is quiet, every sign is blue
And I'm still half-hoping that the next one's you

Maybe it's the hour, maybe it's the rain
Maybe I just miss you on this midnight lane

Window seat, window seat, take me through the night
Counting all the city lights, holding on so tight
Window seat, window seat, if you were here with me
I'd lean into your shoulder and let the whole town be

Oh, the bell rings soft, the doors sigh open wide
Oh, I could stay on board and just let the city ride
No one needs to know where I'm going or why
Just a girl and the night and a streak of sky

Window seat, window seat, take me through the night
Counting all the city lights, holding on so tight
Window seat, window seat, if you were here with me
I'd lean into your shoulder and let the whole town be

Take me through the night
Window seat, city lights
