Wait, tell me what's on her mind
Is there something that she's trying to run and hide from
'Cause she never looks quite at home
In the skin she's got, she speaks but never knows
Sitting in her corner chair she's trying to blend in
Counting down the seconds 'till she's home in Castle Hill
She rides the bus with her headphones on
She hopes that no one sees that she's alone
She's covering up to keep those wolves at bay
She rides the bus now twice a day
She hopes no one will look her way
'Cause she knows there won't be someone
There to save the day any time that she's in need
She don't wanna talk about it
She is trying to delete them from her mind
'Cause you can't trust people you don't know
And awkward conversations are worse than being alone
She'd never had the strength she need, if someone crossed the line
And you can but they never cared, if you're having a good time
I wish that I could be there when she's in need
But I don't want to freak her out
But I understand her fears and doubts
I could never say these things to her I know, I know
She rides the bus with her headphones on
Sometimes she even sings along
She'd rather be anywhere but right here
She rides the bus to the job she hates
Why does our faith turn into hate
She gave up hoping for a perfect life
She rides the bus twice a day
She preys no one will look her way
'Cause she know there won't be someone
There to save the day any time that she's in need
