Lyrics

The guy at the corner sells secondhand shoes,
Sings out a tune from the morning news.
His smile is cracked but his eyes still gleam,
Talks about hope like it’s still a dream.

A girl in the café stirs sugar slow,
Staring at a text she’ll never show.
She laughs too loud when no one’s near,
Wipes her cheek like there’s nothin’ here.

Keep your pace,
Hide your face,
Everyone’s tryin’ to find their place.

📣 All the tired souls—
Drift like a memory.

Late-night train,
Window rain,
Searchin' for something they can’t explain.

The man in the tower talks into the air,
No one's on the line, but he’s still there.
He checks his watch like time might call,
Waiting on nothing, watching it all.

(Tick, tick, don't stop...)

A mother with groceries, two kids in tow,
One shoe untied, but she’s gotta go.
She hums a lullaby from days before,
While one kid draws
