Bus was late I don't care, Guess it's something to say Ride around with the prams out of daycare Complain, suited crowds block the way Slip to a seat right at the back And watch the clouds bleed to black And why race? I'll get home sometime like yesterday My pay's been late a couple of days Don't complain, trade some sleep for some patience Have a snack and just relax Your back needs a break And I hope, you'll be already home And I hope, you'll be already home What's this game? We run around and deal out our names Build castles in the sand then wash away Put my jumper on think winter's on it's way It's getting late, It's a short walk from the stop to our place My hands are cold the shops light the way But I'll walk the other way tomorrow again And I hope, you'll be already home And I hope, you'll be already home And the kids in their school uniforms Get off at the same time as me I offer them my good luck Hope they're happy when they're sleeping A weepy little thing Doesn't like the peak bus on a week day I slide out of my seat so that her dad can rest his feet And there's billionaires for president And parking fines at hospitals I'm not the only one that knows I brush the crumbs on off my clothes And I hope, you'll be already home And I hope, you'll be already home And I hope, you'll be already home And I hope, you'll be already home
