Lyrics
The stranger crosses the street like Moses
Parting cars like the sea
Maybe he’s on his way to an office
Where he calls his employees a “family”
Maybe this week he’ll sneak to a motel
To cheat with a woman from high school
He’ll sing a carefree tune
And glimmer like a one-sided mirror
Everybody can see through
What if he’s just like me
Going through the motions
Oh what if he’s just like me
I’ve been wondering
I only cross at a streetlight
I drag around my baggage
But I’m scared to look inside
What would I find but
The signs of a wreckage
A collision of exhaustion and grind
I’ve been working twice as hard
To get half as far
Maybe the stranger and I are
Two sides of a penny that’s been flipped by a god’s hand
Two clocks that began centuries back with a billion grains of sand in the hourglass
A couple dice on the pavement
The underdog and the favorite
Maybe he’s just like me
History in motion
It’s so lonely, so lonely
History in motion
I wanna feel how it feels to be free
Of all this history in motion
I’ve been wondering
