People Watching Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 makin' fun of how she acted 'round 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 havin' talks about their futures until 4 AM
And I'm happy for them (I'm happy for thеm, I'm happy for them, I'm happy for them)
[Chorus]
But I wanna feel all that love and еmotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holdin'
Someday I'll be fallin' without caution
But for now, I'm only people-watchin'
[Verse 2]
I'm only lookin' 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
[Chorus]
I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holdin'
Someday I'll be fallin' without caution
But for now, I'm only people-watchin'
[Bridge]
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 feel)
I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping (Love, emotion)
I won't be scared to let someone know me (I feel)
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hoping (Love, emotion)
I feel love, emotion
[Chorus]
I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holdin'
Someday I'll be fallin' without caution
But for now, I'm only people-watchin'

What did Conan Gray say about "People Watching"?
So, I wrote this song with Julia Michaels and my producer Dan Nigro, and it was a really funny day. I was like “I wanna write a fun song today, let’s write a fun song”, and Julia looked at me and said “Do you wanna write a fun song, Conan?” I was, like “I think so”, and she said “No, you don’t”. I w...
What have the artist said about the song?
‘People Watching’ was a really pivotal point in making Superache. The truth is, I wrote this album at a time where I just wasn’t in love. I had very few romantic interests. And I feel like my whole life, I’ve been an observer of life but not a participator. I’ve watched people. What does it feel lik...
