[Intro: spoken, minimal]
Same bus
same breath
morning’s calling
I answer anyway
Verse 1
I close the door real slow
keys burn in my hand
hallway smells like
yesterday nothing
ever planned
coffee never happened
still stuck in my head
phone, wallet, silence
that’s all I get
Something’s missing
can’t tell what it is
maybe it’s my sleep
maybe I already lived it
(Solo of drums and claps)
Pre-Chorus
Bus stop breathing quiet
faces looking down
someone nodding
to a song
that never makes
a sound
red light stretching
seconds
like it knows my name
everybody waiting
nobody late
Chorus
Same bus, same route
same day, different mood
I ain’t lost, I ain’t found
just moving through the loop
Same seat, same ride
morning déjà vu
I’m not running nowhere
yeah, I ride it through
Post-Chorus (hook loop)
Ride it, ride it
every day
ride it, ride it
same way
Ride it, ride it
every day
ride it, ride it
same way
Verse 2 (half-rap / rhythmic)
Card goes beep
fake heart on repeat
cold bar under
tired hands, tired feet
driver plays a song
from a place I knew
don’t know the words
but it knows me too
City scrolling by
like a broken feed
selling happiness
on a monthly fee
Pre-Chorus 2 (lift)
Clock don’t rush me
it already won
future yawning open
before day one
Morning calls me by my name
like an old friend does
Yeah, we go way back
me and this bus
Chorus
Same bus, same route
same day, different mood
I ain’t sad, I ain’t late
I got nothing to prove
Same seat, same me
window telling truth
I’m not chasing glory
yeah, I ride it through
Bridge (spoken, stripped)
It’s not pain
it’s pressure light
not my life
just the ride
no applause
no delay
world keeps moving
anyway
(silence beat)
(snapping of fingers four times)
Final Chorus (brighter, open)
Same bus, same route
but I’m still here too
still breathing mornings
in low-res blue
Same ride, same time
but I don’t feel used
I’m not stuck in the day
I’m just moving through
Same bus, same route
but I’m still here too
still breathing mornings
in low-res blue
Same ride, same time
but I don’t feel used
I’m not stuck in the day
I’m just moving through
Outro
Another bus
another morning
no glory
no warning
still here
still breathing
still riding
still going
(6 seconds Fade out,
fade out only rhythmic elements,
fade out only harmonies,
final fade out the voice)
