[Verse 1]
Headphones on in a packed-up train
Scrolling through every perfect frame
All these faces blur and fade
I can’t tell if I’m okay
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s laughing at something
I’m laughing at nothing at all
If I scream into the static
Would anybody hear me call?
[Chorus]
I hear voices in the crowd
Talking over me
Too loud
I’m alone in the middle of the room
Reaching out
But I don’t break through
If you’re broken
Say it now
Let it spill
Don’t turn it down
Are you lost here
Just like me somehow?
Be my voice in the crowd
[Verse 2]
Shared cigarette on the sidewalk edge
You say
“I’m fine
” with a shaking leg
I see me in your bitten nails
Two quiet hearts
Two private hells
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re both laughing at nothing
Trying hard to play the role
If I hand you all my silence
Would you hold it like your own?
[Chorus]
I hear voices in the crowd
Talking over me
Too loud
I’m alone in the middle of the room
Reaching out
But I don’t break through
If you’re broken
Say it now
Let it spill
Don’t turn it down
Are you lost here
Just like me somehow?
Be my voice in the crowd
[Bridge]
[drums drop to toms
Cleaner guitars]
If this is all we ever get
A midnight bus and a missed sunset
Then sit right here and count my breaths
One
Two
Three
Your hand in my mess (hey)
[Chorus]
I hear voices in the crowd
But you’re cutting through it now
We’re alone in the middle of the room
Singing off-key
Still coming through
If you’re broken
Sing it loud
We’ll be louder than our doubt
We were lost here
Look at us now
You’re my voice in the crowd
