Midnight Transit 🚌

[Intro – Soft Rhodes & Upright Bass] Soft hum in the seat-backs heartbeat-slow, Streetlights blur like watercolor... on the glass. [Verse 1 – Male Passenger] Last call for apologies I never sent, Faces flicker past in amber window tint. Ticket in my pocket, weighted down with "could've beens," Stuck between the seats like memories do. [Verse 2 – Female Passenger] Someday tiny windows will glow because of me, I'll hang my doubts on fire escapes to air and breathe. Tomorrow rides shotgun, leaning out into the dark, Watching blurry storefronts slowly... come alive. [Chorus – Mid-Route Realization] Every mile behind me loosens one more chain, While the city sleeps, I'm coming alive again— Finding space between the moments, Breathing deep this midnight... ride. [Verse 3 –Male Passenger] One rider left—hood drawn, rhythm in their grin, Eyes closed, mapping constellations deep within. We trade unspoken stories, two orbits side by side, Parallel across the aisle, chasing separate tides. [Instrumental Solo – Muted Trumpet] [Chorus – Final Refrain, Stronger Groove] Every mile behind me loosens one more chain, City sleeping, I'm awakening— Finding room between the seconds, Humming low on this midnight ride. [Outro – Slow Bass Walk-down & Fade] Cool air greets my shoes; street lamps start to fade. I pocket one small truth: forgive, don't be afraid. Bus pulls off, its engine blending with the mist— My pulse keeps time, steady - through - the - haze. [muted trumpet exits gently]
