Half Fare Hush (Version 3)

Verse

Ticket stub says half past the hour

Windows sweat with a borrowed power

Headphones humming a two-step hymn

Streetlights strobe on my tired skin

Fingers tap on the cold glass pane

Bassline ghost through the window stain

Nobody knows where this bus is bound

Just the hush and the engine sound

Pre-Chorus

Do we stay till the sun comes clean

Do we ride till we lose the seams

Something's rising, I let it go

Floor's asleep but my heart don't know

Chorus

Half fare hush, we ride the low end

Half fare hush, don't want it to end

Lights go soft, the night folds in

Half fare hush, let it all begin

Verse

Seat's still warm from the last one gone

Sequins catch on a borrowed song

Somebody's laughing three rows back

Blue-lit sky through a cracked-out track

My reflection's blurred in the aisle light

Half awake but I feel alright

Every stop is a door we skip

Riding the hush on a one-way trip

Pre-Chorus

Do we stay till the sun breaks clean

Do we drift till we lose the seam

Something's lifting, I let it show

Floor's asleep but my heart don't know

Chorus

Half fare hush, we ride the low end

Half fare hush, don't want it to end

Lights go soft, the night folds in

Half fare hush, let it all begin

Bridge

No destination, no clock to keep

Just the sway and this borrowed sleep

Doors will open, the world will call

But right now the hush is all

Chorus

Half fare hush, we ride the low end

Half fare hush, don't want it to end

Lights go soft, the night folds in

Half fare hush, let it all begin
