Unnoticed his shadow moves across the sidewalk and fades into the night
Sweaty palms and shaky nerves 
He clings to the fabric of his jacket 
The only thing larger than his fears are the holes in the wall. 
The thought made his fists sting
He sits down in the same seat every Saturday 
His eyes stare across the counter 
She never looks up 
At least not at him 
Everyone's talking but he doesn't hear a word 
If he's had one he's had three 
There's one less sober man out tonight
By the time he leaves he's aged twenty years
Worn and faded as the night wears on 
He comes home to chaos in the silence
All the demons rattle his bones and twist his thoughts around 
In the dark he's all alone 
He could scream but not a soul would hear him 
Sweat rolls down his forehead as he cries himself a river 
He feels like half a man 
All this pain and pressure 
The heartbreak 
The wasted youth 
Every wrong turn he ever made 
It all adds up 
How many secrets can one man keep? 
His heart turned inside out and his feelings invisible because be to be strong you can't have feelings
Even in the storm He's the strongest  
Nobody knows his name 
Except me
I wanna lean in and hold him tight 
I find him when I'm not looking 
Living in his mixed up world 
Walking past me on the sidewalk
Sitting at the same red light 
To my left 
Coaching little League 
Sipping coffee with a book 
Reaching for the same box of cereal 
Holding open that heavy door 
Counting back my change 
To my right 
Smiling at me from across the room
In my passenger seat 
He's everywhere
He's just a stranger in the crowd
