Lyrics
So now she's on her way
Initiating a narrative about a woman heading home from work.
Home from work, alone for dinner
Expressing her solitary dinner situation at home.
You close the door to the microwave
Describing closing the microwave door, setting a domestic scene.
Underneath that phone that just won't ring
Noticing a non-responsive phone, possibly waiting for a call.
Sittin' on the bus
Transported on a bus, lost in thought.
Stare a hole right through the floor
Deep in contemplation, staring intensely at the bus floor.
Listening to the squeaky door
Aware of the surroundings, including a squeaky bus door.
Open and close at a stop that's never mine
Noticing a stop that isn't theirs, reflecting a lack of control.
They say if it's well enough
Advising to leave well enough alone, implying acceptance.
Just leave it alone and they would never
Suggesting maintaining the status quo to avoid confrontation.
Think to call your bluff
Highlighting the tendency to avoid challenging situations.
The lie believed till you're standing all exposed
Referring to a lie that remains undiscovered until exposed.
Oh, you'll confide
Encouraging confession despite potential consequences.
And all those fools will slide
Anticipating judgment or negative reactions from others.
Between you and I
Referring to a divide or conflict between the speaker and others.
Between you and I
Reiterating the separation or misunderstanding between parties.
I've seen that look before
Recognizing a familiar expression on someone else's face.
On someone else
Recalling a similar situation experienced by someone in the past.
Years ago and it's come
Indicating the recurrence of a past experience in the present.
Around again
Suggesting the inevitability of facing similar challenges again.
Excuse me while I place
Asking for pardon while assigning blame, acknowledging a game.
The blame on you, the game has conjured now
Recognizing that the blame game has been triggered.
And it never was your fault
Stating that it was not the person's fault, attributing blame elsewhere.
The wind just seemed to carry the spit your way
Describing an external influence (wind) causing undeserved criticism.
My time is spent
Reflecting on the passage of time and experiences.
So all those years can blend
Suggesting a blending of past years into the present situation.
Between you and I
Questioning the act of confiding and its impact on relationships.
Why'd you confide
Asking for the reason behind sharing personal information.
Now all your friends can slide
Implying that friends may take advantage of shared vulnerabilities.
Between you and I
Repeating the theme of separation or conflict with others.
Between you and I

Between you and I
Emphasizing the distance or disconnect between individuals.
Between you and I

The effort to forget

Nature's moving far too slow
Commenting on the slow process of moving on from a past experience.
The effort to forget

I still recall the effort to forget
Acknowledging the effort to forget while admitting lingering memories.
