Bus music...

Did you ever see 40 Days and 40 Nights? Despite the fact that it's a semi-horrible movie, there is this scene where Josh Harnett's and Shannyn Sossamon's characters end up riding the bus all day together because 1. they are obviously 'sappily' in love with one another and 2. the bus is, apparently, Josh Harnett's favourite place to be. I'm not saying the bus is my favourite place to be, but sometimes, it does provide...a sense of comfort. Amidst all the stinky people and the one guy who tells his life story to every person who sits next to him, I'm comforted by the fact I know I'm being taken home and don't need to worry about the directions or where I'm headed exactly, at least for 20 minutes, when I need to get off and start walking. :P

But really, it gives me a chance to sit (or stand) and watch life go by at a slow pace where I can enjoy the scenary outside the window, but not so quickly as to miss discovering something new each time. My particular bus route, I love, because I travel under a canopy of trees and get to stare out at the city beneath me. And if it's just the right time of day, the sun begins to set and creates a glow, illuminating everything for miles. It's tranquil and calming for once, in a life filled with constantly being on the go and frantic, unrelentless thought. Just add music, and I'm set for another 20 minutes...

I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here
I'm now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here
I'm now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here
I'm now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

And calls from bus stop to bus stop are nice too ;)
