[Verse 1]
Staring at the ocean from a window on the hillside
A million boats are floating on the high tide
I wanna be a million miles from here
I wanna know what everybody wants to know
Oh, won't you tell me what everybody wants to know?

[Chorus]
I thought it was just us
Waiting on this bus
Waiting on a gust of wind to blow us away
Away to better days
Away to better days

[Verse 2]
Underneath the starry skies, I'm tired, you're wired
It's gonna be a bumpy ride
I don't wanna bore you, totally adore you
I wanna go where everybody wants to go
Please will you tell me where everybody wants to go?

[Chorus]
I thought it was just us
Waiting on this bus
Waiting on a gust of wind to blow us away
Away to better days
Away to better days
[Verse 3]
Staring at the future through a window in my mind's eye
Time moving faster than a bullet to the blue sky
Monday, Tuesday, suddenly it's Sunday
I wanna know why everybody's got to go
Oh, won't you tell me why everybody's got to go?

[Chorus]
I thought it was just us
Waiting on this bus
Darling, I have lost
A little bit of trust
I thought it was just us
Waiting on this bus
Waiting on a gust of wind to blow us away
Away to better days
Away to better days
