People Watching

That wasn't funny
But she laughed so hard, she almost cried
They're countin' 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 (I'm happy for thеm)

But I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attachеd to the person I'm holdin'
Some day I'll be falling, without caution
But for now I'm only people watchin'

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 clothin'
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin'

I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holdin'
Some day I'll be falling, without caution
But for now I'm only people watchin'

Cut people out like tags on my clothin'
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin'
I won't be scared to let someone know me
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin'
Cut people out like tags on my clothin'
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin'
I won't be scared to let someone know me
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin'
I feel love emotion

I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holdin'
Some day I'll be falling, without caution
But for now I'm only people watchin'
