People watching es una canción de Conan Gray, quien comenta que "es para todos los corazones solitarios que se preguntan cómo será estar profundamente enamorado. Nunca he salido con nadie en toda mi vida, he pasado muchos años viendo parejas perfectas sentadas, tomando café juntos, susurrando nimiedades el uno al otro, con dulzura. No puedo evitar fantasear sobre lo que puede ser esa emoción. No hay nada que me guste ver más que ver cómo viven en su burbuja, donde nadie más parece existir. La letra de la canción son cosas que escuché de soslayo durante el tiempo que pasaba mirando en el café de la universidad. Observar cómo vivían la experiencia me permitía sentirlo indirectamente de algún modo".
Conan compuso el tema junto a Julia Michaels y a su colaborador habitual Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo), con mezcla de Serben Ghenea.
Letra
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
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)
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
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 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 holding
Someday I’ll be fallin’ without caution
But for now I’m only people watching
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
(I feel love emotion)
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
