[Intro - Intimate, Almost Spoken] Well, now... You look like someone Who's got a story to tell. Funny thing about stories... Everybody's got one. [Verse 1] He rolls into town with the dust on his boots A crooked little grin and a well-tailored suit Tips his hat to the ladies, nods to the men Then he's gone with the wind before you see him again He's a little bit country, a little bit soul Got a pocket full of secrets that he never unfolds He can talk to the preacher, drink with the thieves Make a stranger feel like he's the one who believes [Pre-Chorus - Smooth R&B Phrasing] He knows when to listen He knows what to say Can make you feel seen Then he slips away [Chorus - Higher Masculine Register, Smooth Falsetto Accents, Soulful and Melodic] He's the man between The in-between A face in the crowd That you've never seen He fits everywhere But he don't belong Keeps moving along Keeps moving along Ooh, he can read your soul But you won't get close He's everybody's someone But nobody knows [Post-Chorus - Airy Falsetto, Melodic Runs] Ooh-ooh, nobody knows Ah-ah, where the wild wind blows Ooh-ooh, just passing through Everybody knows him But nobody knows the truth [Verse 2 - Playful and Confident] He'll buy you a drink, make you laugh till you cry Tell you just enough to make you wonder why You were spilling your heart by a quarter to two Telling him the things that you never tell you-know-who He's got that kind of magic you can't put your finger on Makes you feel like you've known him your whole life long He sees through the mask that you wear every day But when you ask about his, he just smiles and looks away [Pre-Chorus - Low and Smooth, Slightly More Vulnerable] He knows all your colors Can name every shade But nobody's ever Seen the man he's made [Chorus - Higher Register, Soulful Country-R&B, Falsetto Flourishes] He's the man between The in-between A face in the crowd That you've never seen He fits everywhere But he don't belong Keeps moving along Keeps moving along Ooh, he can read your soul But you won't get close He's everybody's someone But nobody knows [Instrumental Break - Twangy Electric Guitar Meets Warm Rhodes Piano, Deep Bass, Lazy Half-Time Groove] [Bridge - Nearly Spoken, Stripped-Back and Intimate] Maybe he was born that way Maybe he learned it young How to be a little bit of everything But never fully anyone He's worn a thousand faces He knows a thousand names But when he looks into the mirror Does he recognize the same? [Bridge Continued - Gradually Rising, Emotional Male Falsetto] Ooh, tell me, where do you go When there's nowhere that feels like home? Who are you when the lights go down? Who's that man when there's no one around? [Breakdown - Deep Baritone, Sparse Guitar, Almost Whispered] He straightens his collar Brushes off his sleeve Tips his hat to the moonlight... And leaves. [Final Chorus - Full Soulful Voice, Higher Register, Expressive Falsetto Ad-Libs] He's the man between The in-between A face in the crowd That you've never seen He fits everywhere But he don't belong Keeps moving along Keeps moving along Ooh, he can read your soul But you won't get close He's everybody's someone But nobody knows [Outro - Mysterious] He tips his hat... Gives you that smile... And he's gone with the wind. [Final Falsetto Ad-Libs] Ooh-ooh... Nobody knows.
