Passerby - Sonia Stein

Jealousy isn’t pretty on me

I watch them succeed and I wish it was me

Years gone by and I’m still singing these songs

But there’s a dichotomy that keeps bringing me down, down

Watch me but don’t look right at me

From the corner of your eye

I don’t know why, don’t want to ask you for it

Love me as a passerby

(See me now, see me now)

I don’t know why, don’t want to ask you for it

Love me as a passerby

Bitter me placing blame endlessly

I wonder if I even wanna be seen

Years gone by and I’m still rolling along

But this damn dichotomy keeps bringing me down, down

I’ll hide here in plain sight, a rabbit in headlights

So watch me but don’t look right at me

From the corner of your eye

I don’t know why, don’t want to ask you for it

Love me (As a passerby)

(See me now) Watch me but don’t look right at me

(See me now) From the corner of your eye

I don’t know why, don’t want to ask you for it

Love me (As a passerby)

How can I be so afraid?

I would prefer if you all looked away

But don’t forget that I’m here, why don’t you see me now?

I’ll hide here in plain sight, a rabbit in headlights

I’ll hide here in plain sight, a rabbit in headlights

(See me now) So watch me but don’t look right at me

(See me now) From the corner of your eye

I don’t know why, don’t want to ask you for it

Love me as a passerby

(See me now) Watch me but don’t look right at me

(See me now) From the corner of your eye

I don’t know why, don’t want to ask you for it

Love me as a passerby

(See me now, see me now)

I don’t know why, don’t want to ask you for it

Love me as a passerby

See me now (See me now), see me now (See me now)

See me now, see me now
