about

Spoiler alert: This song is the story of the Bus Stop chapter in Zen. If you haven’t read it, my advice is don’t listen to this song! It’s too late, isn’t it? The only reason you came here to read this is because you liked the song so much. I’m sorry that I spoiled what little plot there was with this song that features both the F and Fm chords so prominently. This is the last song I wrote for the album. In reality, though, it’s the first song I wrote for the followup album I hope to release next year. It’s as much about myself as it is about Zen and Ellie.

lyrics

You're a hubcap heart
Born under a pile of cars
Another discarded part
Posing as a diamond in the rough

She's a sky-born soul
She's unsinkable
She's got just one goal
Can you figure out what it is before it's too late?

She's at the bust stop now
She's waiting for
Waiting for the 8:00
She's got tears in her eyes
And soon she'll be just another broken
Piece of you you don't recognize

Hurry boy though you slip and slide
Upon the streets of snow
Let the way you ride
Be like suicide
Let it free your soul
