I think that this song depicts different aspects of his life.
"Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you're gonna take us
Someplace that I have never been
Its chic transportation to New destination
where I leave my reflection on the glass"
This bit shows his fast paced and adventurous lifestyle, eager to see different things and hes not afraid to explore and try new things out. It could also be that he's running from other things and wants to get his mind off of them.
"I'd ask but we don't know
How far these interstates go
Or how deep the city routes go down
In chilly subdepth railways
The weathered concrete stairways
Provide me with the means of getting home
If I ever leave"
I think this is where he knows he loves this cityscape and his fast paced life but he also wants his loved ones, which he cant get to in this area. He wants to see them but cant bare to leave this place he is in, either geographically or mentally.
"So many sights to see
So wake up like an early birdie
And we?ll get a head start on the day
Oh, stained glass skyways
And crowded six lane highways
If I look back when I begin to leave
Will they remember me?"
Hes taking the innitiative to almost leave the place hes in and to join his other friends. Everything is still so fast paced and he longs to return home but he frets that his life will change and he wont be able to get back to where his is if he leaves.
"Circuit flights bend the light when I am spent
And tour guides make happy brides through heaven soon"
Hes decided to return home, albeit still nervous. Booking flights and checking out accomodation relax him and put him to rest.
"Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you're gonna take us"
Hes returning home and eager to see this home of his, loved ones that await.
On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
While soothing words hover like humming birds
(Side note: I LOVE these lines)
Hes home and at ease with the ones he loves. He hardly has to speak to communicate the relief he feels. The crystal sand may refer to the precarious state of mind he still holds.
"Good, good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you're gonna take us"
Hes simply looking for a new guide, a new direction, of which he can still hold his loved ones
