No One Is Watching You Now
Unseen Echoes of a Small Town Heart
Lyrics
Same town as it's ever been
The town remains unchanged.
If there's changes somewhere
If there are changes, they've happened internally.
They've occurred from within
Changes are personal and introspective.
Streets pass and hold up to me
Streets hold memories, every spot linked to someone.
Every corner defined
Each street corner is associated with past moments shared.
By the places you'd be
These places are reminiscent of where you would have been.
But no one is watching you now
No one is observing or monitoring you presently.
No one is watching you now
The absence of scrutiny or attention towards you.
Like I did
The speaker used to watch or pay attention to the person.
Even the longest of days
You had the ability to make difficult days seem shorter.
You could make disappear
Your expression could dispel the feeling of long days.
By the look on your face
We used to drive into town
Former experiences of going into town.
And the eyes of the girls
Girls' attention used to be drawn to you.
Followed you all around
But no one is watching you now
Currently, no one pays attention to you.
I know no one is watching you now
Realization that nobody observes you as before.
Like I did
The speaker used to observe the person intensely.
Forty-eight hours pass
Time passing, wanting to linger longer.
And I'm longing to stay
A desire to remain in a particular moment.
Forty-eight hours pass
And watching you, watching you
Observing you feels distant now.
Is ages away
The act of watching seems like a long time ago.
Something has torn me apart
Something has emotionally affected the speaker.
Oh but what do I care
The speaker's apathy towards personal feelings.
About watching my heart
Not concerned about guarding their own emotions.
I know that sadness bleeds through
Recognizing the transmission of personal sorrow.
And my sadness for me
The speaker's sorrow has shifted towards the person.
Is now sadness for you
'Cause no one is watching you now
No one is currently observing or monitoring.
I know no one is watching you now
Acknowledgment of the absence of observers.
No one is watching you now
No one currently watches or pays attention.
Like I did
The speaker used to intensely watch the person.
