Bus Stop
Tim Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stops, bus goes
She stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella we employed it
By August she was mine
Every morning I would see her
Waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop
And she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared
As if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers
Are going to be the same
That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinking of our sweet romance
Beginning in a dew
Came the sun
The ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to avow
Every morning I would see her
Waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop
And she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared
As if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers
Are going to be the same
Came the sun
The ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to avow

The singer thinks back on the time they spent under it, reminiscing on how it led him to avow his love for her.
The song explores the idea that love can happen in unexpected places and situations, and that sharing commonalities such as shelter from the rain can lead to a romantic connection.

Line by Line Meaning
Bus stop, wet day
On a rainy day at a bus stop
She's there, I say
I notice her standing there
Please share my umbrella
I invite her to stand under my umbrella to avoid getting wet
Bus stops, bus goes
The bus arrives and departs from the stop
She stays, love grows
Despite the bus leaving, our connection grows stronger
Under my umbrella
We continue to stay dry under the shelter of my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Throughout the summer season, we enjoyed each other's company
Wind and rain and shine
We faced various weather conditions, yet remained together
That umbrella we employed it
We relied heavily on the umbrella for shelter and comfort
By August she was mine
By the end of summer, we had become a couple
Every morning I would see her
Each morning, I would see her waiting at the stop
Waiting at the stop
She patiently waited for the bus to arrive
Sometimes she'd shop
On occasion, she would go shopping while waiting
And she would show me what she'd bought
She would proudly show me her purchases
Other people stared
We were the center of attention and some found it odd
As if we were both quite insane
To others, our love seemed irrational
Someday my name and hers
We will eventually become husband and wife
Are going to be the same
Our lives will forever be intertwined as one
That's the way the whole thing started
Our love began unexpectedly at a bus stop
Silly but it's true
As strange as it may seem, it is still true
Thinking of our sweet romance
Reflecting on our love story
Beginning in a dew
A chance encounter on a wet morning led to our relationship
Came the sun
The weather improved
The ice was melting
The coldness and barriers between us began to melt away
No more sheltering now
We were no longer dependent on the shelter of the umbrella
Nice to think that that umbrella
It is pleasant to consider that the umbrella played a role in bringing us together
Led me to avow
It inspired me to make a declaration of love
