About People Watching
“People Watching” is the third single from Conan’s sophomore studio album, Superache. The song was released on July 15, 2021, with the music video being released the following day. The song is an emotional, up-tempo ballad about wanting the love that you see in the relationships around you, but only ever amounting to looking in from the outside. This song also showcases an evolution of his attitude toward romantic feelings from his previous works such as “Crush Culture.” .
People Watching Lyrics
[00:06.63] That wasn't funny but she laughed so hard, she almost cried
[00:10.42] They're counting months they've been together, almost 49
[00:14.23] He's making fun of how she acted 'round the holidays
[00:18.01] She wears a ring, but they tell people that they're not engaged
[00:21.74] They met in class for metaphysical philosophy
[00:25.48] He tells his friends, "I like her 'cause she's so much smarter than me"
[00:29.40] They're having talks about their futures until 4:00 a.m.
[00:32.78] And I'm happy for them (and I'm happy for them)
[00:36.99] But I wanna feel all that love and emotion
[00:41.35] Be that attached to the person I'm holding
[00:45.04] Someday, I'll be falling without caution
[00:49.19] But for now, I'm only people watching
[00:55.64] I'm only looking just to live through you vicariously
[00:59.61] I've never really been in love, not seriously
[01:03.29] I had a dream about a house behind a picket fence
[01:07.15] Next one I choose to trust, I hope I use some common sense
[01:11.12] But I cut people out like tags on my clothing
[01:15.73] I end up all alone but I still keep hoping
[01:19.44] I wanna feel all that love and emotion
[01:23.18] Be that attached to the person I'm holding
[01:26.74] Someday, I'll be fallin' without caution
[01:31.48] But for now, I'm only people watching
[01:38.54] Cut people out like tags on my clothing
[01:42.84] I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping
[01:46.89] I won't be scared to let someone know me
[01:50.69] Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hoping
[01:54.45] Cut people out like tags on my clothing (I feel)
[01:58.44] I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping (love emotion)
[02:02.11] I won't be scared to let someone know me (I feel)
[02:05.73] Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hoping (love emotion)
[02:10.06] (I feel love emotion)
[02:17.55] I wanna feel all that love and emotion
[02:21.45] Be that attached to the person I'm holding
[02:24.80] Someday, I'll be falling without caution
[02:29.66] But for now, I'm only people watching
