“Day Trippin”

It’s a cold late night on the East coast

Just wishing for the warm sun to suddenly toast

A heavy wind blows everything around

Making lots of sound and howling pretty loud

But you stand there anyway freezing your ass off outside

Without a care in the world cause you got nothing left to hide

The wind brushes all over and against your pale skin

Making you long for a warm shot of tonic and gin

You aren’t in any rush to leave the street corner

As deep thoughts creep in of your older friend’s daughter

Doesn’t seem to matter on this day that you’re a little old

Maybe you’re finally tired of all the talk and want to be bold

You’ve seen how she looks at you whenever you’re around

Always making you blush and shiver with a little frown

Never wanting to draw much attention to the very obvious

While the other company in the room are totally oblivious

Having forgotten what they once really were

With much to do about nothing existences in one little blur

It’s never been your style never much at all

As the girl stares you down making you want to take her against the wall

Those thoughts are what’s been dancing around your head

If only you really knew after you left what she must’ve said

Now it gets even colder as you stand in this place

But you’re not going anywhere as the wind hits your face

Red all over you wait and wait some more

Hoping for your bus called the S74 

You got no idea where exactly it is

Better come soon so you can get down to biz

It might be late but it may as well be day

As you look up above and see a dark sky all gray

Kinda sums things up at this present time

If only the heavens above would finally yell out a sign

Cause you’ve come to the realization that you’re day trippin’

Knowing full well that you’re losing it quick already slippin’

But you’re okay just as long as your bus ride finally arrives

You’ve been at this stop many times before without much on the line

Any minute now that’s finally going to change

Which is why the long delay is very strange

The bus hasn’t been this late in forever

Somehow making you appreciate the bitter weather

You always quivered a little at this same stop before

But the 74 arrived just in time opening the door

You’d sit down and listen to the rap blasting away

Giving you a new perspective and wanting to scream hey

All this stuff goes on in your mind as you patiently wait

For a bus that has an unknown destination with your fate

What shall happen when you finally get on your way

Will it become possibly your most memorable day

Cause you knew all along for a while you’ve been day trippin’

Nothing around you mattered much anymore as you’re slippin’

You just stopped caring about all the petty nonsense

And instead focused on what really made the most sense

Which is why you’ve finally arrived at this exact location

Pondering if that bus will get you to your desired destination

You stand there and wait some more not knowing what’s going on anymore

Just as long as your bus finally comes and you get on that S74

It doesn’t matter how cold it is or how long you stand there

Just as long as your ride comes making it all the more clear

Cause you’ve known forever that you’ve been slippin’

But don’t really care cause you know you’ve been day trippin’
