sit in the middle
don't be tucked behind
my seat
there's space here for all of us
let's have the music blaring
so you can barely hear
and let's have you
literally break down
you would ask why but
the question dies in your throat
so do your hidden feelings
you missed her, and that's certain
"i'm always here for you," she said
"now that i'm here, things are going to change"
she didn't need to lie to make
me feel okay
the truth would suffice

it's not that she doesn't
believe in global warming
it's that she won't listen to
your incessant claims
that maybe her "sources"
weren't as resourceful as
she once thought

the bus is full of strangers
you'd never been out of state before
but all these people, they're all going
somewhere
your destination is los angeles, but theirs?
it could be anything
hope, love, devastation
nobody knows except them
reveals nothing to anybody
all you've had to do is wonder
oh wonder
