Alone in Company

[Verse 1] There are people everywhere, voices filling every room, someone laughing by the window, someone passing by too soon. Yesterday you said good morning, today you look the other way, like somehow between two sunsets I just faded into grey. I walk streets that know my footsteps but still don't know my name. I learned how to smile politely, I learned how to play the game. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe you don't mean to hurt me, maybe you don't even know, how invisible a person feels when there's nowhere they belong. [Chorus] I'm alone in company, surrounded, but nobody sees me. A thousand faces passing by, and somehow I'm a ghost tonight. I'm alone in company, in a world that's full of humanity. So many voices, so much sound, still there's no one when I look around. And somewhere in this crowded place, another stranger wears my face. Maybe they're wondering like me: How can we be so lonely with so much company? [Verse 2] I came here with another language, another rhythm in my heart. Different memories, different stories, different places where I start. Sometimes eyes can ask a question before a single word is said. “Where are you from?” becomes a distance they've already built inside their head. They see something unfamiliar, and suddenly I'm strange. But underneath these little differences, we're really much the same. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe everybody carries some secret loneliness inside. Maybe all these perfect strangers have just learned how well to hide. [Chorus] I'm alone in company, surrounded, but nobody sees me. A thousand faces passing by, and somehow I'm a ghost tonight. I'm alone in company, in a world that's full of humanity. So many voices, so much sound, still there's no one when I look around. And somewhere in this crowded place, another stranger wears my face. Maybe they're wondering like me: How can we be so lonely with so much company? [Bridge] Maybe the woman on the train who never lifts her eyes goes home to an empty room and cries where no one finds her. Maybe the man who never smiles is waiting for someone to ask, “Are you okay?” And really mean it this time. Maybe we're millions of islands pretending we're a continent, standing inches from each other while feeling miles apart. So if tomorrow I say hello, please don't wonder why. Maybe one small word between us can remind us we're alive. [Final Chorus] We're alone in company, so close, and still we barely see. Millions walking side by side, with little lonely worlds inside. We're alone in company, but maybe it doesn't have to be. One honest smile, one open door, could make a stranger feel like more. And somewhere in this crowded place, someone is searching for a face that says, without explaining anything: I see you. You're not invisible to me. [Outro] People everywhere, lights in every window, footsteps everywhere... And still, sometimes, we're alone in company.
