Night Bus is a glimmering and infectious track that follows Aplin’s journey home on the night bus, observing the people around her and knowing that she has to end a relationship for better or for worse.
[Verse 1]
I'm on the night bus, I'm thinking about us
The streetlights go fleeting by
The man sat next to me, is texting somebody
I wonder what that feels like
Maybe I'm reckless, but I just can't shake this
It follows me home at night
[Pre-Chorus]
At night
It's getting clearer every mile we ride
[Chorus]
Suddenly, I know
That I'm on my way home to you for the last time
It's not what you wanted
But I know you got this, and you're gonna be fine
Oh, I've just been watching the world as it's turning
And that's what it feels like
Suddenly, I know
That I'm on my way home to you for the last time
[Verse 2]
I'm on the night bus, it's crawling with lovers
Who hide from the cold, white light
I see my reflection
Dazed and complacent
She follows me home at night
[Pre-Chorus]
At night
It's getting clearer every mile we ride
[Chorus]
Suddenly, I know
That I'm on my way home to you for the last time
It's not what you wanted
But I know you got this, and you're gonna be fine
Oh, I've just been watching the world as it's turning
And that's what it feels like
Suddenly, I know
That I'm on my way home to you for the last time
[Bridge]
At night
At night
At night
It's getting clearer every mile we ride
[Chorus]
Suddenly, I know
That I'm on my way home to you for the last time
Oh, it's not what you wanted
But I know you got this, and you're gonna be fine
And I've just been watching the world as it's turning
And that's what it feels like
Suddenly, I know
That I'm on my way home to you for the last time
