Lyrics
Night bus rolling through the amber lights Window glass is fogged up, city's soft and bright Your jacket on my shoulders, sleeves too long Smells like rain and cedar, hums like a song Stop by stop the streets go by Quiet hearts and sleepy eyes Borrowed jacket, night bus home I'm not cold, I'm not alone Every streetlight says hello Warm as where the good ones go Borrowed jacket, night bus home Keep me close and let me roam Oh-oh, oh-oh, I'll bring it back Maybe tomorrow, maybe not Driver hums along to the radio low Sleeping stranger's headphones glow I find a ticket in your pocket, folded small A little piece of your whole day, that's all Stop by stop the streets go by Quiet hearts and sleepy eyes Borrowed jacket, night bus home I'm not cold, I'm not alone Every streetlight says hello Warm as where the good ones go Borrowed jacket, night bus home Keep me close and let me roam Oh-oh, oh-oh, I'll bring it back Maybe tomorrow, maybe not Ring the bell, it's nearly my stop Rain is tapping on the rooftop I'll fold the sleeves and hold it tight Kindness is a coat at night Borrowed jacket, night bus home I'm not cold, I'm not alone Every streetlight says hello Warm as where the good ones go Borrowed jacket, night bus home Keep me close and let me roam Oh-oh, oh-oh, I'll bring it back Maybe tomorrow, maybe not Night bus home Borrowed jacket, night bus home
