[Energetic Intro] *ocean waves, bus engine starting* (layered harmonies) Oo-oh, oo-oh, here we go Oo-oh, oo-oh, feel the road ⸻ [Verse 1] Windows down, the salt air rushing Late sun through the glass keeps flashing Take the coast road, don't look back Every mile on this worn-out track The water shimmers in the evening glow Bus wheels turning where the sea winds blow (harmonies: where the sea winds blow) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Feel the rhythm of the rolling road (Feel it rolling) Let the red sky lead us home (Lead us home) *building energy* ⸻ [Chorus] On the ocean bus, we're breaking free Past the last lit shops, just you and me Evening wind keeps calling out our names (Calling out, calling out) By tomorrow, nothing stays the same On the ocean bus, on the ocean bus (We're alive, we're alive) Chasing bands of light until the stars appear *shimmering guitar solo* ⸻ [Verse 2] Seagulls gliding by our silver wheels Every turn says more than words can tell Purple clouds spread out across the sky Telephone wires and summer slipping by The horizon burns through dusty glass Little bus stops flicker as we pass (harmonies: flicker as we pass) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Feel the rhythm of the rolling road (Feel it rolling) Let the red sky lead us home (Lead us home) *energy building higher* ⸻ [Chorus] On the ocean bus, we're breaking free Past the last lit shops, just you and me Evening wind keeps calling out our names (Calling out, calling out) By tomorrow, nothing stays the same On the ocean bus, on the ocean bus (We're alive, we're alive) Chasing bands of light until the stars appear *extended shimmering guitar* ⸻ [Bridge] (ethereal but energetic) Salt on skin and heat in the seats Dashboard glowing to a broken beat Everybody rides like they belong We don't need to say where we're from The bus turns into something bright Moving through the blue edge of the night (We're rolling, we're rolling) Ocean breathing through the open frames This is real enough without a map *building to explosive return* ⸻ [Final Chorus] On the ocean bus, we're breaking free (Breaking loose, breaking loose) Past the last lit shops, just you and me Evening wind is singing through our names (Singing loud, singing proud) By the morning, we won't be the same On the ocean bus, on the ocean bus (Forever, forever) Chasing bands of light until the dawn appears (Oo-oh, oo-oh, here we go) (Oo-oh, oo-oh, feel the road) *euphoric outro with layered vocals* ⸻ [Outro] *ocean waves, bus fading into distance* (whispered but energetic) The ocean bus keeps rolling on... Past the dark and into morning... (We're alive, we're alive, we're alive...) *final shimmering fade*
