Lyrics
Life, life, life is a bus ride
I leave my house and walk up the road,
can't be long now it must be getting close.
I check my pocket to see if there's money
seems like a nice day, its kind of really sunny.
The sun is blinding and its a struggle,
to the top I'm climbing so fast I'm seeing double
Every time I get there it goes straight past,
what do I do now? I've Gotta think fast.
I start to run feel like I'm gonna make it,
I'm out of breathe well thats a load of bull****.
As I get to the stop it seems im too late,
how long getting ready, did I really take?
I gotta wait now for another 10 minutes
I wonder how every car seems to mimic
I turn my head about 20 times,
I'm getting impatient so I check the time.
Life, life, life is a bus ride
Life, life, life is a bus ride
don't know when your gonna slide
Life, life, life is a bus ride
Life, life, life is a bus ride
I'm waiting at the stop feeling so bored,
every 10 minutes its late of fcourse
I wait a moment then check the time again
type in the code, press the button then I send.
I could have walked in the time it took me,
moving like chalk would have moved so quickly
the bus approaches then I get on
sit down in my seat from the stop I am gone
Im sitting on the bus, spent my last 60p
sitting and there's fuss some clearly cant agree
there's two that argue, they're driving me crazy
I'm annoying now want to fight but lazy
I'll just write a song to try pass the time
I counted some wrongs, yeah I mashed them made them rhyme
but the windows open, just in front.
My hands are frozen, you I want to punch.
My blood starts to boil
getting really angry
I'm going to be late cant you see im dressed fancy
it aint a great start to the day, in fact its the worst
dont ask if im okay I dont need to be nursed
I feel like im a bubble its about to be burst
remember positivity is it really worth.
I'm not the only one in this world,
so I've gotta think first.
This ride is driving me around the bend,
waited a long time but still it won't end.
looking out the window seems like its non stop.
inside my minds doing fits feels like im gonna drop.
I get off the bus, I move in a rush.
Been here so long, I've been gathering dust.
I take my last step then I empty my pocket,
I put my hand on my head and think I've gotta stop it.
How many times have I really said this?
Inside im fine but my mind is in bits,
looking down at the floor next to the bus stop,
one ticket turns to more this is what you call writers block.
From now on I'm gonna have to walk cant blame anyone
because its only my fault, I want to rap, they want to talk.
Fix any problem fill it use caulk.
Life, life, life is a bus ride
Life, life, life is a bus ride
don't know when your gonna slide
Life, life, life is a bus ride
Life, life, life is a bus ride
