Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

a crowded morning bus ride

three hour commute

to see my darling four eyes

i’ll be there real soon

running late on the greyhound nothing new

running late but atleast get a real nice view

we’re speeding down the turnpike

i toss and i turn in chairs that won’t recline

what a couple of days we have in store

wish i could stay a little longer

little time and so much to do

i know a place with real good boba

take your time cos everything’s good

this ones on me just pay it forward

weather’s right let’s go for a cruise

wish i could stay a little longer
