Have you ever been in love with someone, but found yourself unable to fully commit because of painful memories from a past relationship? This song is about that moment of hesitation. You are given the chance to move forward with someone new, but you are still haunted by what is behind you. The bus stop represents that pivotal moment of decision. Throughout the song, the person is weighing whether or not to get on the bus, to take the risk, to start something new. If they choose to get on, there is no turning back.
