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
