Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 4 a.m.
And I'm happy for them (I'm happy for them)
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
But I cut people out like tags on my clothing
I end up all alone but I still keep hoping
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
(I feel love, emotion)
[Verse 9]
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
