Catch The Morning Bus

Your bag by the stairs

Five forty on the clock

Everyone fell asleep

Across the living room

You leave for home at six

I promised I'd wake you

Instead we find one record

Nobody played all night

You turn the volume low

And pull me from the sofa

Catch the morning bus

But dance with me first

Catch the morning bus

Before the city stirs

You don't need to miss it

I don't need forever

Catch the morning bus

Just not this minute

You tell me you're returning

For your cousin's wedding

Three weekends from today

The date is in your phone

I offer you my spare room

You say you'll think about it

Three weeks sounds much better

Than goodbye without a plan

Catch the morning bus

But dance with me first

Catch the morning bus

Before the city stirs

You don't need to miss it

I don't need forever

Catch the morning bus

Just not this minute

The record reaches silence

Your alarm begins to ring

We wake half the apartment

Running down the stairs

Catch the morning bus

But dance with me first

Catch the morning bus

Before the city stirs

You don't need to miss it

I don't need forever

Catch the morning bus

Just not this minute

You make it by seconds

I watch from the curb
