A face in the crowd

I can’t believe I picked you out

Of the hundreds or thousands of people at the station today

I could say I wasn’t looking

It’d kinda be a lie

Waited for this moment since the day I came alive

It was 1980, 7:30 in the morning, Springtime

You were on the TV

I was sifting through some file cabinets

Hopeless

But the words you gave inspired

They lit a spark in me

Don’t mean to cause commotion

I’m just trying to get it right

And there’s only one request I have for you

If you could just fit me on to your schedule

I promise that I’ll make it worth your time

If you could just fit me on to your schedule

I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

If you could pencil me on to your schedule

I promise I won’t take too much of your time

If you could just fit me on to your schedule

I can let you get on with your life

I know it might sound crazy

I hear it in your voice, it’s all the same

Been worrying about my future since my future got away

I feel you may have answers

No pressure if you don’t

Could always come up empty, but I’m confident you won’t

All I need’s an hour, or a couple, or a day if you can spare one

What you tell me I will grow

I’ll sow the seeds, you’ll see it

Again, I know, sounds crazy but your voice becomes my own

And there’s only one thing left I’ve to see through

If you could just fit me on to your schedule

I promise that I’ll make it worth your time

If you could just fit me on to your schedule

I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

If you could pencil me on to your schedule

I promise I won’t take too much of your time

If you could just fit me on to your schedule

I can let you get on with your life

Then I can get on with my life

I had a dream last night that you broke into my house and you robbed me of everything that I have and I had to stand there and watch as you carried my possessions out -- except for the ones that you didn’t want, which you threw into my fireplace. Why did I dream that? Lord. I sat bolt upright in my bed with sweat pouring out of my face. That was the worst dream I think that I’ve ever had. That was the worst dream I think that I’ve ever had
