People Watching - Sam Fender

I people-watch on the way back home

Envious of the glimmer of hope

Gives me a break from feeling alone

Gives me a moment out of the ego

I used to feel so invincible

I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of

Back in the Gasworks screamin' the song

Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart

Oh I feel so dark rememberin'

Oh my heart I feel so dark rememberin'

I people-watch on the way back home

Everybody on the treadmill runnin'

Under the billboards out of the heat

Somebody's darling's on the street tonight

Oh I can't stop runnin'

I see the whole town fall

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh ooh

I came back home after seven years

Wide awake tracing tracks of her tears

Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it

I promised her I'd get her out of the care home

The place was fallin' to bits

Understaffed and overruled by callous hands

The poor nurse was around the clock

And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart

But it wasn't hard when you love someone

Oh I stayed all night till you left this life 'cause that's just love

I people-watch on the way back home

Everybody on the treadmill runnin'

Under the billboards out of the heat

Somebody's darling's on the street tonight

Oh I can't stop runnin'

I see the whole town fall

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

Above the rain-soaked Garden of Remembrance

Katie wakes let's draw initials in the sky

Oh I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times

And I'll hold you in my heart till the day I die

Oh

I people-watch on the way back home

Everybody on the treadmill runnin'

Under the billboards out of the heat

Somebody's darling's on the street tonight

Oh I can't stop runnin'

I see the whole town fall

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

I people-watch on the way back home

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh ooh

Ooh-ooh
