a face in the crowd


Before all of this ever went down
In another place, another town,
You were just .. a face in the crowd
Out in the street .. walking around
A face in the crowd..
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life
And you were just .. a face in the crowd
Out in the street .. thinking out loud
A face in the crowd.

  1. That’s a great song. I really love tom petty’s stuff. When I was younger my dad used to put full moon fever on during drives and whatnot. I’ve got the whole thing memorized to this day. Before soccer games he’d always play “I won’t back down,” he felt it was a good song to listen to before a game since I was a defenceman and well I had no problem with that:)

  2. we move in numbers
    like shifting sand
    but we’re too eager
    to understand
    ’cause we’re not ready
    we’re too proud
    now we’re finding a different way
    we’ve been chasin’ each others tails
    now we’re ridin’ a new wave
    all on our own way
    more than a face in the crowd (a face in a crowd)
    hundreds of people
    all runnin’ ’round
    but there’s no color
    and there’s no sound
    we move in silence
    looking down
    now we’re finding a different way
    we’ve been chasin’ each others tails
    now we’re ridin’ a new wave
    all on our own way
    more than a face in the crowd
