Saul Mann - Walking across the street Lyrics

The person across the street
Can't seem to take their eyes off their phone
Ah, they bumped into a woman
A minor conflict
Must be a hassle

The person across the street
Is heading this way with a guitar
I'm envious
I wish I'd had a youth like that
How dazzling they are

In this city full of people
How am I seen by them

Walking across the street
No purpose, just thinking
What should I have for dinner today
Will I still be alive like this tomorrow

The person across the street
Looks kind of like me
But the decisive difference is
He seem to have a purpose in his eyes
Maybe it's just my imagination, but it feels that way

In this city full of people
How am I seen by them

Walking across the street
No purpose, just thinking
What should I do to kill time today
Will I still be alive like this tomorrow

To others, I'm just another passerby
No one is the protagonist
Even that person who acts like the lead
Is the same. I wish they'd realize it soon

In this city full of people
How am I seen by them

Walking across the street
No purpose, just thinking
Nothing at all, no thoughts, no meaning
Will I still be alive like this tomorrow
I should want to live, but I can't say it I can't say it!
I should want to live!!

Only walking across the street
