Now watch your smoke Drift away and disppear Into the cold night sky. And as I turn, I could see the road; It turns slowly to ice. The next day's like a lifetime wait From your eyes. You're nervous on your own, And you take the bus back. You make a face in the condensation. You see me on my own, And you wave from your window, And I wave back again. And the sound of the bells Will help you sleep at night, And they'll keep you From hearing them cats fight. You'll sit up straight, And watch the traffic lights, Who never take a break. The next day's like a lifetime wait From your eyes. You're nervous on your own And you take the bus back You make a face in the condensation You see me on my own And you wave from your window And I'll wave back again. And I can only stand by and watch you fall. I try to put myself in your shoes I double-knot the lace tight So you can't make the same mistakes again. And again. You're nervous on your own And you take the bus back. You make a face in the condensation. You see me on my own, And you wave from your window, And I'll wave back again.
