[Verse 1]
Now watch your smoke drift away and disappear
Into the cold night sky
And as I turn, I could see the road
It turns slowly to ice
[Pre-Chorus]
The next day's like a lifetime wait
From your eyes
[Chorus]
You're nervous on your own
And you take the bus back
You make a face in the condensation
You see me on my own
And you wave from your window
And I wave back again
[Verse 2]
And the sound of the bells
Will help you sleep at night
And they'll keep you from hearing them cats fight
You'll sit up straight
And watch the traffic lights who never take a break
[Pre-Chorus]
The next day's like a lifetime wait
From your eyes
[Chorus]
You're nervous on your own
And you take the bus back
You make a face in the condensation
You see me on my own
And you wave from your window
And I wave back again
[Bridge]
And I can only stand by and watch you fall
I try to put myself in your shoes
I double-knot the laces tight
So you can't make the same mistakes again
And again
[Chorus]
You're nervous on your own
And you take the bus back
You make a face in the condensation
You see me on my own
And you wave from your window
And I wave back again
