Crowded Bus

Verse 1

Shoulder to shoulder, no room to breathe

Faces like strangers, all staring at me

Metal rails shaking, my patience is thin

Every stop feels like the walls closing in

Pre‑Chorus

Heartbeat pounds the fluorescent light

Nowhere to run in the dead of night

Chorus

On this crowded bus — I’m stuck again

Pressed by the world and a thousand sins

On this crowded bus — I’m losing it

But I won’t break, no I won’t quit

Wont Quit!

Verse 2

Someone’s complaining, someone’s asleep

Someone’s pretending they’re six feet deep

Doors keep jamming, the driver swears

I’m trapped in a box full of blank-eyed stares

Pre‑Chorus

Heartbeat pounds the fluorescent light

Nowhere to run in the dead of night

Chorus

On this crowded bus — I’m stuck again

Pressed by the world and a thousand sins

On this crowded bus — I’m losing it

But I won’t break, no I won’t quit

Won't quit!

Bridge

Let me off, let me off, let me off this ride

Frozen winter air, pulling me back inside

No clearance when I push right through

’Cause I’ve survived worse than a packed commute

Final Chorus

On this crowded bus — I’m still alive

Crushed in the moment but I will survive

On this crowded bus — I’m done with fear

If I can’t escape, I’ll take the wheel right here

Take The Wheel

Take The Wheel
