lyrics

Nightbus

I’m leaving hills, I’m leaving town,
I’m leaving friends, I’m leaving everything
Cannot breathe this solid air
I’m getting away on the nightbus
I’m sick of faces I know well
Don’t want to turn into people
who dig holes and pull you in
They said I was dirt, I believed them

I’m leaving you I’m changing everything about me
I don’t want nobody here reminding me
how frightened I can be

I’m waiting tables, I’m in charge
I swear you won’t recognise me
I’m cutting my hair, I’m getting a room
This is the life here believe me
I broke the sadness, breathed upon
that part of me that’s the coldest
I don’t believe you don’t believe
I left a key with the Jones’s

I’m leaving you I’m changing everything about me…

There is a place where my slate is clean

I’m leaving now I’m going soon
I’m getting away on the nightbus
The sky is falling on this town
You’re never alone on the nightbus
Don’t look back or turn around
I’m getting away on the nightbus
That diesel air I’ll breathe.
I’ll send for you when I get there
When I get there...
