Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ticket stub Sleeve on glass Clouds in the window Drifting past Shoulder to shoulder Nobody talks Eyes on a screen Minds on their clocks [Chorus] So many hearts on the same old bus ride Different prayers Different names Same tide Carrying daylight Carrying blame All these strangers Different But the same [Verse 2] One reads headlines Another reads hands Someone is mapping A faraway land Groceries hanging From calloused wrists Someone rehearsing A mouthful of risk [Chorus] So many hearts on the same old bus ride Different dreams Different roads One line Planning their meetings Tonight’s small flame All these strangers Different But the same [Bridge] Headscarves and headphones Briefcase and boots Cinnamon coffee Home in their roots No word spoken But I still know We’re all just hoping The driver’s sure where to go [Chorus] So many hearts on the same old bus ride Different stories Same rolling frame of time Carrying memories Faces Names All these strangers Different But the same

folk, Warm indie-folk ballad with male vocals, brushed snare and upright bass under a fingerpicked acoustic. Verses stay close and intimate, almost whispered, with subtle organ pads. Chorus widens with stacked harmonies, tambourine, and a gentle swell of strings. Keep tempo unhurried, letting small pauses breathe between phrases to mirror the quiet of a crowded ride.
