Conan Gray - People Watching (Official Lyric Video)

Lyrics:

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

[CiaraGan]

the way he always understands the assignment

[dunjaprentic]

conan: "I've never really been in love, not seriously"
Also conan: literally has two whole albums about this one person he never dated

[TrendingTracksOfficial]

Everything this human releases is actually perfection

[ranimibrahim]

Conan: "I've never really been in love"
Also conan: writes songs like he's been through 3 divorces

[hazraa]

"I’ve never really been in love, not seriously"- CONAN STOP ATTACKING ME

[ambermckay]

WHO ELSE IS SCREAMING THE CHORUS THAT THEY MEMORISED WEEKS AGO

[marielyshp]

This is officially my romantic life's anthem.

[estefanim]

This song is the one that relates to Conan the most, since most of his songs are about being in relationships and he claims he’s never been in one- and this song is where he expresses that :)

[aashaya]

he's not just a singer, he's a writer and a lyricist. this is brilliant.

[gojosatoru]

"I cut people out like tags in my clothing" - mind of an intovert

[phoniex]

"i cut people out like tags on my clothing" truer words could not have been said.

[Akisukaa]

"Cut people out like tags on my clothing"

Introverts : Same...

[andrianak]

I’m still not over astronomy and now THIS MASTERPIECE HE NEVER DISAPPOINTS US

[amirasyraff]

This feels like the opposite of Crush Culture, where he realises he does want to feel all the love.

I see you, character development.

[Suvicries]

As an Ace and demiromantic this song made me emotional. It's hard to understand why you can't find this intense emotional connection with another person when people all around you seems to be finding it. Stay Strong Conan, we'll find it someday soon 🤍

Edit: Reading your replies makes my day🥺🧡

[chandlerl]

incredible. i’m speechless.

side note- did anyone hear “ almost 49” but the vid reads “45”

[danielacuriel]

“Life is so monotone but I still keep hoping” never have related to a lyric so much before

[katakurisama]

I think he’s speaking through the crowd. All of them are, ,people watching”. Because the whole crowd wants to feel loved, they metaphorically became one, the narrator. So the narrator watches this relationship wondering if he will ever be loved like this

[hdjfkgkhkgxkfxk]

"I end up all alone but still end up hoping"
True that.

[safehaven]

Lyrics: almost forty-five
Conan: “N o. . . F o r t y - N I N E.”
