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 a.m.​
And I`m happy for them (I`m happy for thеm, I`m happy for them, I`m happy for them)

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`

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

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`

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

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`
