Face in the Crowd

[Verse 1]

I see you every single day
same place, same light, you look my way
But not at me, I’m just in line
another second of your time

Your smile hits like summer rain
it keeps me warm, it keeps me sane
I learn your steps, your laugh, your sound
while I fade into the background

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m standing close but miles away
you never hear the words I say

[Chorus]

I’m just a face in the crowd
when you’re the one I think about
You light my dark, you pull me in
but I don’t even cross your skin

I’m just a face in the crowd
you’re every dream I can’t shut down
I want your fire, your warmth, your sound
but I’m invisible
a face in the crowd

[Verse 2]

I replay moments in my head
every “hi” you never said
I build a world inside my sleep
where you are mine, where you see me

But daylight comes, the truth cuts deep
you pass me by, my heart skips beats
I’m screaming loud without a sound
while life just spins its way around

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m standing close but miles away
you never hear the words I say

[Chorus]

I’m just a face in the crowd
when you’re the one I think about
You light my dark, you pull me in
but I don’t even cross your skin

I’m just a face in the crowd
you’re every dream I can’t shut down
I want your fire, your warmth, your sound
but I’m invisible
a face in the crowd

[Bridge]

Maybe in another time
you’d reach for me instead of mine
Maybe in a different life
I wouldn’t feel this far behind

But here and now I play my part
loving you from half a heart
Close enough to break me down
too far to ever turn around

[Final Chorus]

I’m just a face in the crowd
still hoping you’ll turn around
You’re every wish I never found
every lost and broken sound

I’m just a face in the crowd
you’re the reason I break down
I want your fire, your warmth, your sound
but I’m invisible
a face in the crowd

[Outro]

You walk away, I stay somehow
still just a face in the crowd
