Midnight on the Bus

Lyrics

Verse 1
Rolled in on the Manhattans tour, baby
My suitcase full of stage dust and sweet talk
You waited by the loading dock in red
Like trouble with a lipstick grin
Troy seen me staring, said, "Don't do that"
But you leaned close and said, "Come on"

Pre-Chorus
Back of the bus, the world kept moving
Your hand on mine like a loaded vow
That old night air got heavy between us
And Troy kept looking, but he looked away

Chorus
Oh, me and you, me and Troy
(Oh, me and you)
By the time the moon got low
We were gone, we were gone
Oh, me and you, me and Troy
(Oh, me and you)
Skin on skin, and the whole night knew
We were gone, we were gone

Verse 2
Hotel hall smelled like cigarettes and rain
Your key card shook in your pretty fingers
Troy was laughing down the vending room
While you pulled me close by the ice machine
You said, "Baby, let's stop acting holy"
Then you kissed me slow like you meant it

Pre-Chorus
Curtains shut, the city fell quiet
Your dress on the chair, my breath in knots
Troy knocked once, then he went back down
And your mouth said what your eyes had taught

Chorus
Oh, me and you, me and Troy
(Oh, me and you)
By the time the moon got low
We were gone, we were gone
Oh, me and you, me and Troy
(Oh, me and you)
Skin on skin, and the whole night knew
We were gone, we were gone

Bridge
Later, the lamp burned soft and gold
Your laugh got low, your name turned tender
I held you close like I was built for it
Like every mile had led me there
And when you pulled me under your body
Even the broken night felt kind

Final Chorus
Oh, me and you, me and Troy
(Oh, me and you)
By the time the moon got low
We were gone, we were gone
Oh, me and you, me and Troy
(Oh, me and you)
Skin on skin, and the whole night knew
We were gone, we were gone

Outro
Hold me close till the morning comes
Hold me close till the morning comes
Troy can keep the road
We got our own sweet run
