Bro - The Man Who Waits Lyrics

There's a man at the corner, he don't say a word
Just a coat, just a shadow, just smoke from the third
Neon paints him in flickering light
He don't move, not a step, not a glance to the right

People pass like the seasons, the street shifts its name
Bars change their colors, but he stays the same
They build, they destroy, they forget and replace
But his boots leave a mark that the rain can't erase

What is a man who waits?
A ghost in his own parade?
A king with no throne, no land, no weight?
Or the only one who ain't afraid?

Maybe a girl once whispered his name
Maybe a debt, maybe love, maybe guilt wrapped in shame
Or maybe he just don't need a reason at all
Maybe some men don't move 'cause they know how to fall

Streetlights flicker like questions unasked
The night ain't in a hurry, no need to rush past
They say life is moving, but what if it ain't?
What if the man is the wave, and the world is the paint?

There's a man at the corner, been there all along
Maybe he's waiting, maybe we're wrong
Maybe he's not lost, not left, not late
Maybe the rest of us just can't wait
