The days all look alike here
Like stamps at the post office
You got what they gave you
Not what you hoped for
You're sitting, like every day
And everyone here pretends
The sun floods the bus
The shower just passed
You cast animal shadows with your hands
You're the girl from checkout 2
This bus runs every day, every week, every year
Behind the bus the sky's dark
And ahead of us it's clear
Outside the city drifts by
Now I know who you are
The girl from checkout 2
The days all look alike here
Like two blank sheets of paper
It always rains where it's already wet
And it's better everywhere than here
Your tattoo still gleams fresh
"Carpe Diem" is what it says
You look like you should sleep
I get off, the bus rolls on
The seat next to you opens up
You cast animal shadows with your hands
You're the girl from checkout 2
This bus runs every day, every week, every year
Behind the bus the sky's dark, and ahead of us it's clear
And you look tired, outside the city drifts by
Now I know who you are
The girl from checkout 2
On your nails flash pictures of islands far from here
But we'll always ride the bus, you know that, we know that
I had something else to tell you
But my bus ride's over
But we'll see each other here tomorrow
