Lyrics:
"May I sit?", he asked
"Next to you?", he said
But no answer was taken or sympathy
Or sympathy
Never harmed anyone
So why do they hate him?
He doesn't know, no he doesn't know
Doesn't know why
If this is not hate, then what is it?
Can life just be so unfair?
And if I sit with you on the bus stranger
Will that be alright?
Alright for you?
Alright for me?
Alright for my broken pride and my broken wings?
Burned to the ground, can't turn around to breathe
Alright for you?
Alright for me?
Alright for my broken pride and my broken wings?
Burned to the ground, can't turn around and breathe
He smiled at them and he left
"Goodnight", he said
And just walked away
Again walked away
But once upon a time, in a cold night with no stars
He found an empty seat on some wrecked bus, next to a young man
With eyes wet he wondered, could he just settle down for a while?
And all of the memories, flashing 'for his eyes, thinking of all the times they turned him down
Alright for you?
Alright for me?
Alright for my broken pride and my broken wings?
Burned to the ground, can't turn around to breathe
Alright for you?
Alright for me?
Alright for my broken pride and my broken wings?
Burned to the ground, can't turn around and breathe
And if I sit with you on the bus stranger
Will that be alright?
