We're as lonely as we wanted to be.

Well I'm just people watching
The other people watching me
And we're all people watching
The other people watching we
We're as lonely as we wanted to be
We're all as lonely as we wanted to be
Just as lonely as we wanted to be
I'm just you, you're just me
But it's only true if we believe
Well there really ain't no use in stopping
What nobody never told me not to do
So I'll keep people watching, watching me now
Finding my way back to you
We're as lonely as we wanted to be
We're all as lonely as we wanted to be
I'm just as lonely as I wanted to be
I'm just you, you're just me
But it's only true if we believe
I see so many feet going so many ways
People passing by, they got nothing to say
All on our own, just watching and confused
Nobody told me what to do
I can't stop breaking all the rules
And I'm just people watching
The other people watching me
We're all people watching
The other people watching we
We're as lonely as we wanted to be
We're not so lonely as we wanted to be
I'm just as lonely as I wanted to be
Not so lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely

People Watching - Jack Johnson


people watching.
fascinating.

we are indeed as lonely as we want to be. A friend tells me this several months ago and couldn't be more right to the point. this is human nature. to test the water and wait. stop waiting or you'll never get in. on. over. around. what's the point if you aren't participating.

disconnected.
judging.
waiting.

whether you're you or me or them or they or we the knives are hard to juggle sometimes. but you'll never know you can unless you attempt it. don't think you can? instead of getting your feet wet step into the deep end of things and see that you can. whatever is uncomfortable isn't that bad once you get past that initial shock. the water will never be the right temperature. cold is fine once you get in.

keep watching.
connect.
participate.

we're not so lonely as we wanted to be.
