Plastic People

Plastic People lyrics

Verse 1

Back of the bus, I'm small
Counting stains on the glass
Everybody's face goes blank
Like they already passed

I joke with my own shadow
Keep my trouble in line
If you look at me too long
You can read my spine

Pre-Chorus

And I laugh it off
But I feel it all
Seat by seat
We learn to fall

Chorus

Plastic people on the bus
Plastic people, sing with us
Plastic people on the bus
We all break, we all hush

Plastic people on the bus
Plastic people, sing with us
Plastic people on the bus
I still want to be enough

Verse 2

A kid taps time on a phone case
No one looks up, no one talks
I wear my face like a costume
Till it starts to crack and drop

The window keeps my outline
The rest of me goes thin
I act like I don't need love
Then I beg it from within

Pre-Chorus

And I laugh it off
But I feel it all
Seat by seat
We learn to fall

Chorus

Plastic people on the bus
Plastic people, sing with us
Plastic people on the bus
We all break, we all hush

Plastic people on the bus
Plastic people, sing with us
Plastic people on the bus
I still want to be enough

Bridge

Yeah, I sit by the scratch in the seat
Trying to keep my heart off repeat
Everybody got a mask, got a lane, got a script
Mine got a smirk and a slip in the grip

I been one eye open, one joke deep
One more stop and I might not sleep
But if you wave from the dark, I wave back
Same old ghost in a smaller track

Chorus

Plastic people on the bus
Plastic people, sing with us
Plastic people on the bus
We all break, we all hush

Plastic people on the bus
Plastic people, sing with us
Plastic people on the bus
I still want to be enough

Outro

Back of the bus, I'm small
But I'm still here, that's all
Plastic people on the bus
We don't fall alone
