Schoolbus

from Miles and Means
(also on Storyhill Live and Reunion)

There's so many things going on inside my head
So many people in there
This sunny day I took 'em all onto the road
Drove to the mountains and the mountain air

Chorus:
And I don't mind gettin' stuck behind this schoolbus today
This summer I've been so lazy
And this movin' slowly only gives me time to think
To clear my mind 'cuz it's so hazy

She came to town just the other day
She said that she was doin' fine
We didn't talk too much 'cuz we had too much to say
She wore her sunglasses so I wore mine

Chorus

It's been forever since we slept under the stars
And every galaxy was calling
You're right here next to me but I wonder where you are
Now that all the stars have fallen

Chorus

It seems that everybody wants a piece of me
Like some homecooked apple pie
She is a piece of me and that I can't deny
But if someone asks me how I feel I'll have to lie

Chorus

The bus driver's careful on this winding road
And the cars are lining up behind
There's a kid gettin' off, and he's no more than nine years old
He checks the mail before he goes inside

Chorus:
And I don't mind gettin' stuck behind this schoolbus today
It gives me something else to do
And sometimes I wish I was that kid again
Before I met, before I left you
