Lyrics
Before all of this ever went down
Reflecting on a time before current events occurred.
In another place, another town
Describing a different location and setting.
You were just a face in the crowd
Highlighting that the person was once unnoticed.
You were just a face in the crowd
Reiteration of being an anonymous part of the crowd.
Out in the street walking around
Depicting the person walking in public.
A face in the crowd
Emphasizing being just one face among many.
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Transitioning to a moment of significance.
Into my heart, into my life
Describing the impact of the person entering the speaker's life.
And you were just a face in the crowd
Recalling the person as initially inconspicuous.
You were just a face in the crowd
Reiteration of being part of the crowd.
Out in the street, thinking out loud
Thoughts expressed while walking in public.
A face in the crowd
Reiteration of being one face among many.
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Revisiting the moment of significance.
Into my heart, into my life
Highlighting the profound impact on the speaker's heart and life.
And you were just a face in the crowd
Reiteration of the person's past anonymity.
You were just a face in the crowd
Restating the idea of being a face in the crowd.
Out in the street, walking around
Describing the person in public again.
A face in the crowd
Emphasizing being part of the crowd.
Face in the crowd
Repetition for emphasis – a face in the crowd.
A face in the crowd
Reiteration, underscoring the person's unremarkable nature.
A face in the crowd
Final repetition, closing the narrative with the same theme.
