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 them

But 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'

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'
