I give myself very good advice,<br /> But I very seldom follow it,<br /> That explains the trouble that I&#039;m always in,<br /> Be patient, is very good advice,<br /> But the waiting makes me curious,<br /> And I&#039;d love the change,<br /> Should something strange begin,<br /> Well I went along my merry way,<br /> And I never stopped to reason,<br /> I should have know there&#039;d be a price to pay,<br /> Someday...someday,<br /> I give myself very good advice,<br /> But I very seldom follow it,<br /> Will I ever learn to do the things I should?<br /> Will I ever learn to do the things I should?

Head against the seat, I sigh,
for all I see is ghostly light.
Illuminated reflections become surreal art
Though not abstract at all.
When in the dark, longing is nothing new.
The longing for my home, for anything familiar.
This bus forces me to smile
to pretend like these passing headlights can't make me weep
I wish I was headed in their direction,
back to my heart.
