Fare Stage Riddim

Verse

Back seat window, condensation trail

Top deck lean where the city lights turn pale

Your coat sleeve brush past mine on the rail

Two-stage fare and the night won't fail

Half twelve bassline through the floor

Your eyes catch mine at the closing door

Strangers folded in the same warm air

Same stop coming but I don't care

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it too, the sway, the pull

Every red light stretching slow and full

Say the word and I'll ride it through

One more stage just to stay with you

Chorus

Stay on the fare stage, stay in the light

Hold on the handrail, hold through the night

Don't let the doors close, don't let it end

Ride out the riddim, round the bend

Verse

Neon puddle splash on the empty road

Your hand finds mine like it already knows

Bassbin humming through the chassis floor

Nobody's got somewhere better to go

Steam off my coffee, cold by the stop

Your thumb on my wrist like you don't want it to stop

Driver calls the names of streets we don't know

Let the whole route bend, let it go slow

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it too, the sway, the pull

Every red light stretching slow and full

Say the word and I'll ride it through

One more stage just to stay with you

Chorus

Stay on the fare stage, stay in the light

Hold on the handrail, hold through the night

Don't let the doors close, don't let it end

Ride out the riddim, round the bend

Bridge

Forget the stop, forget the map

Just the hum and the sway and your hand in that

If the driver calls it, we'll ride some more

Nobody's got to reach the door

Chorus

Stay on the fare stage, stay in the light

Hold on the handrail, hold through the night

Don't let the doors close, don't let it end

Ride out the riddim, round the bend
