Back of the double decker, facing back

Seeing life in Steadicam

Watching the black cab follow then tail on off

Wondering every time if I’ll ever stay for long

Feel like I’m always alone at the end of the night

Friends coupled up and holding hands retreating into the night

I’ve always been the little engine that might

Just a little too complacent with my regular life

NYC and why see anything else

And it's not like any of y'all are settling down here forever

Night bus like I'm Harry, ay

Still on the night bus like I’m Harry

Still on the night bus like I’m Harry

Still on the night bus like I’m Harry, ay ay ay ay

This ain’t my series, but I’ll steal the scene

Crossover from my show when the filming meets

Guest starring but never part of the main cast

They act on the English Channel, most I can watch is the playback on the groupchat

I know it ain’t home, but it always feels like home when I'm here

I know I got y’all at home, but I might come here if the moment appears

We went to the pool at 3 AM after the club like they always do

Eelis told me it’s weird you’re with us here, you know, you feel out of place in this room

I know

Walking home at 6, my suit wrinkled, chlorine flowing in my hair

Like I’m back in college, walking Bankside, looking like a homeless debonair

Stumbling back to Ali’s, the boys all split

Conveniently all the white boys live

Under one roof, guess 2015 lost its timelessness

For all but me

You’re all my friends, but that’s not the same between you

I guess if I lived here, I probably wouldn’t be taking the tube

To see everyone, you’d go through a funnel

Some of y’all already making a move back home

I just romanticized the year I created a new backbone

End of the night, I’m always alone, yeah

You can’t recap all I wanted to know, yeah

Goddamn, this city’s still comfortable (comfortable)

Stepping off the plane, I still got the feeling that London is home

YA YA

At the end of the night, y’all dissipate, and I’m always alone

Night bus, night bus stop, been reflecting on what I couldn’t have known (couldn't have known)

I know all these streets, I know all these alleys, this city’s too comfortable

I became a man here, I figured my shit out, man I made London my own

3000 miles just to see if U 'K

(Whatcha' looking for for)

3000 miles just to stay a few days

(Who’re you living for for)

Them or you

Made a soft Brexit so I could visit too

I ain't even use the same parlance

When I'm here, playing roles in different projects

Shit is feeling cinematic

‘Magine if I ever spend a winter back here

London been the blue screen in the back

I’m method acting, I could lose me in the accent

Life finally caught up to my lyrics

I fly all that mileage for a beer

With my peers, playing the field, no one told me

How this lifestyle is tiring to adhere

But it is, game imported from the Anglo border

Thank you lord, I got it ‘fore I could afford it

Never been good at saying sayonora

That’s why I visit, but y’all grown and chasing glory

Can’t be waiting for me, I said that before this

For a different group but that shit’s still important

And that’s obvious, it’s just hard for me to swallow

Always walked farther from my apartment just to walk another block though with a friend

Now we've all got jobs and we’re talking just to talk though in the end

Eelis said "actually doesn’t seem like you left," I prefer honesty from you

Drunk as fuck in the club, only fitting place yelling "Batman dadada-dada"

End of the night, I’m always alone, yeah

You can’t recap all I wanted to know, yeah

Goddamn, this city’s still comfortable (comfortable)

Stepping off the plane, still got the feeling that London is home

YA YA

At the end of the night, y’all dissipate, and I’m always alone

Night bus, night bus stop, been reflecting on what I couldn’t have known (couldn't have known)

I know all these streets, I know all the alleys, this city’s too comfortable

I became a man here, I figured my shit out, man I made London my own

3000 miles just to see if U 'K

(Whatcha' looking for for)

3000 miles just to stay a few days

(Who’re you living for for)

Them or you

Made a soft Brexit so I could visit too

Give me a pint of that London Pride

I’ma always be there in the summertime, yeah
