Already Home
Alex the Astronaut Lyrics

Bus was late
The bus was not on time.

I don't care, Guess it's something to say
Although the bus was late, it is not really affecting me since it is not surprising.

Ride around with the prams out of daycare
Riding on the bus with parents who are picking up their children from daycare.

Complain, suited crowds block the way
Other people are frustrated with the crowds of commuters.

Slip to a seat right at the back
Find a seat at the back of the bus.

And watch the clouds bleed to black
Watch the colors of the sky turn from blue to black as the sun sets.

And why race?
Why rush to get home?

I'll get home sometime like yesterday
I will get home eventually, just like I did yesterday.

My pay's been late a couple of days
My salary has not been paid on time for a few days.

Don't complain, trade some sleep for some patience
Instead of complaining, I should trade my sleep for some patience.

Have a snack and just relax
Take a break and have a snack to relieve stress.

Your back needs a break
It's important to give your back a break and rest it.

And I hope, you'll be already home
I hope you'll be home before I am.

What's this game?
What is the point of this cycle of running around and dealing with our own names?

We run around and deal out our names
We keep repeating the same cycle of introducing ourselves to people.

Build castles in the sand then wash away
We build things and then they disappear or get washed away.

Put my jumper on think winter's on it's way
As it gets colder, I put on my sweater.

It's getting late,
It's becoming late.

It's a short walk from the stop to our place
Our home is not far from the stop where I need to get off.

My hands are cold the shops light the way
Although my hands are cold, the shops are still brightly lit.

But I'll walk the other way tomorrow again
I will take a different direction tomorrow, even though I walk this way today.

And the kids in their school uniforms
Children in their school uniforms are also on the bus.

Get off at the same time as me
They also get off at the same stop as I do.

I offer them my good luck
I hope they have good luck in their school day.

hope they're happy when they're sleeping
I hope they have a happy day and sleep well at night.

A weepy little thing
A child who is crying.

Doesn't like the peak bus on a week day
The child does not like taking the bus at the busiest time on a weekday.

I slide out of my seat so that her dad can rest his feet
I move out of my seat so the child's father can sit down and rest his feet.

And there's billionaires for president
Very wealthy people have been elected as presidents in some countries.

And parking fines at hospitals
People are charged fines for parking at hospitals.

I'm not the only one that knows
People are aware of these problems.

I brush the crumbs on off my clothes
I wipe off the crumbs from my clothes.

And I hope, you'll be already home
I hope you will be home before I am.

And I hope, you'll be already home
I hope you will be home before I am.

And I hope, you'll be already home
I hope you will be home before I am.

And I hope, you'll be already home
I hope you will be home before I am.
