Laura's Invention - 56 Bus Lyrics

Maggie takes the chair and has her eyes on me
She crosses her arms and watches me sleep
When I open my eyes I find her nose to my nose
I don't want to move, her eyes are closed
Then she wakes. And she walks
And you'd think she couldn't hear me talk

I don't need a you when I've got a her
Don't need a reason, I'm faking sure
She might not hug but she keeps me warm
I'll say Maggie is the one I've wanted all along
And I think that she knows
I look around and find nothing
Maybe I should go

In silk shorts with a silver chalice once
I gave in to trying to try not to care

About six shots at being the best on the block
I came back to pieces of wall and a steel framed stare

I'll try to meet you on the back of the 56 bus
I'll try to meet you on the back of the 56 bus
I'll try to meet you on the back of the 56 bus
I'll try to meet you on the back of the 56 bus
It's not about us

It may be me, it may be you
It may be time to face the truth
I hate alone as much as I hate crowds
Maggie's is the only voice I answer to now
Still I wait by the phone
It's like no one told you I was alone.
