Lyrics
People Watching
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That wasn't funny, but she laughed
So hard she almost cried
They're counting months they've been together
Almost forty-nine
He's making fun of how she acted around the holidays
She wears a ring, but they tell people
That they're not engaged
They met in class for metaphysical philosophy
He tells his friends: I like her
'Cause she's so much smarter than me
They're having talks about their futures until 4AM
And I'm happy for them
But I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holding
Someday, I'll be fallin' without caution
But, for now, I'm only people watching
I'm only looking just to live through you vicariously
I've never really been in love, not seriously
I had a dream about a house behind a picket fence
Next one I choose to trust
I hope I use some common sense
But I cut people out like tags on my clothing
I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping
I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holding
Someday, I'll be fallin' without caution
But, for now, I'm only people watching
Cut people out like tags on my clothing
I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping
I won't be scared to let someone know me
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hoping
Cut people out like tags on my clothing
I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping
I won't be scared to let someone know me
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hoping
I feel love emotion
I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holding
Someday, I'll be fallin' without caution
But, for now, I'm only people watching
