Bakanteng Upuan #SCPHChallenges

English Translation Below [Intro] (mmm...) [Verse 1] Traffic pa rin, basang-basa ang bintana Manipis ang jacket, mas manipis ang pride ko Umupo ako sa aisle, malapit sa labasan Nagpanggap akong okay lang, kahit hindi Umupo ka sa tabi, basa ka pa sa ulan May hawak kang libro, punit-punit na ang gilid Wala tayong usapan, chill lang, ayos lang naman Hanggang sa isang liko, balikat mo ang sumalo [Pre-Chorus] Sabi ko, kaya ko 'to Sanay na 'kong mag-isa Pero mas mabilis ang antok Kaysa sa pride kong ayaw sumuko [Hook] I fell asleep on the night bus next to a stranger Gumising na parang may pamilya sa tabi ko Walang pangalan, walang kuwentong pinag-usapan Tahimik, pero parang home na agad (Parang home na) Paulit-ulit ang ilaw ng poste sa dilim Isang estranghero na parang matagal ko nang kilala Hindi ako hinayaang mahulog [Verse 2] Hindi ka gumalaw nang bumigat ang ulo ko Inayos mo lang ang braso mo para hindi ako ma-istorbo At sa bawat lubak, bahagya mong sinalo Ang taong buong gabing nagpanggap na fine, kahit pagod na pagod Mahinang tinawag ng drayber ang huling hintuan Nauna kang tumayo, saka saglit na lumingon Isang tango lang, na parang pareho nating alam May mga paalam na hindi kailangang sabihin [Bridge] Dati akala ko, pamilya Kailangang same ang apelyido May lumang litrato, may kuwento bago ka dumating Pero minsan pala, sapat na Ang balikat na hindi umiwas Pride pala ang unang bumibitaw Kapag may taong marunong sumalo [Final Hook] I fell asleep on the night bus next to a stranger Gumising na parang may pamilya sa tabi ko Walang pangalan, walang kuwentong pinag-usapan Tahimik, pero parang home na agad (Yeah, home na) At habang nilalamon ka ng ilaw sa terminal Naiwan sa bakanteng upuan Ang bigat na hindi ko na kailangang dalhin [Outro] Mula noon, sa bawat gabing sumasakay ako Hindi ko na inilalagay ang bag ko sa tabi Iniiwan kong bakante ang upuan Baka may pagod na kailangang sumandal At kung sakaling bumalik ka, gusto kong sabihin na..... ============================================ [Intro] (mmm...) [Verse 1] Traffic's crawling, rain keeps streaking down the window My jacket's thin, but my pride is wearing thinner I took the aisle seat, close enough to leave Pretending I was fine, even when I wasn't You sat beside me, still soaked from the rain Holding a book with worn and tattered pages We didn't say a word, and somehow that was enough Then one sharp turn, and your shoulder caught me [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I'd be okay I'm used to being on my own But sleep came faster Than the pride I couldn't let go of [Hook] I fell asleep on the night bus next to a stranger Woke up feeling like I had family beside me No names, no stories ever shared Quiet, but somehow it already felt like home (Felt like home) Streetlights kept repeating through the dark A stranger who somehow felt so familiar You never let me fall [Verse 2] You never moved when my head grew heavy You only shifted your arm so I could rest Every bump in the road You caught the one who'd spent the whole night pretending he was fine The driver softly called the final stop You stood before I did, then looked back for a moment Just a single nod, like we both understood Some goodbyes never need to be spoken [Bridge] I used to think that family Had to share the same last name Old photographs, old stories from before you came But sometimes it's enough To find a shoulder that doesn't pull away Turns out pride is the first thing to let go When someone knows how to catch your weight [Final Hook] I fell asleep on the night bus next to a stranger Woke up feeling like I had family beside me No names, no stories ever shared Quiet, but somehow it already felt like home (Yeah, like home) As the terminal lights slowly swallowed you Left behind on that empty seat Was the weight I didn't have to carry anymore [Outro] Since that night, every time I ride the bus I don't leave my bag on the seat beside me anymore I keep that space open In case someone tired needs a place to lean And if you ever come back I just want to tell you that...
