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.
– tom petty
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:)
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
