Intro
The county bus hisses at the curb slow She climbs on with that transfer in her grip Headed to the back row, eyes lock, no script
Verse 1
Transfer slip folded in my jacket pocket Your laugh cuts the engine hum like a rocket Corner store bag on the seat between Chips and a dream, no in-between You said you got no car, I said me neither But the four forty-one route lasts forever Window fog from the secrets we trade The kind that make a transfer feel like fate Hand on the pole when the bus took a turn Neither one moved it, let the feeling burn
Chorus
Two transfers to forever, yeah We got the seats and the whole damn night To forever, yeah Fog on the glass from the words we hold tight Two transfers to forever, yeah To forever
Verse 2
At the terminal light we wait the switch You hold the new slip, I hold the itch To say something real in the fluorescent glow But the bus doors close and the feeling grows Chips from the store, one bag, two smiles Talkin' 'bout dreams in the aisle No gas money, no plan for the end Just this ride and the chance we bend Your fingers brushed mine when the light turned green We both pretended like we didn't mean it
Chorus
Two transfers to forever, yeah We got the time, we got the view To forever, yeah Every red light feels closer to you Two transfers to forever, yeah To forever
Bridge
I ain't got no money for the ride home But if this loop ends with you, this feels like home With you on the back seat, no place to be Just the hum and the hand that found me
Chorus
Two transfers to forever, yeah We turned the slip into something that stays To forever, yeah No money, no car, more time to forever's gate Two transfers to forever, yeah To forever
Outro
Two transfers to forever, yeah
Inside the recording
The county bus hisses at the curb slow She climbs on with that transfer in her grip
Two transfers to forever, yeah We got the seats and the whole damn night
Two transfers to forever, yeah
