A Crowd Gathers

And I saw you peering down at all the people gathered there

Everybody streaming with their phones up in the air

Got so caught up in recording that they just forgot to call

Makes you kinda wonder if they see a human at all

‍

Everyone is gasping, phones aloft over their heads,

They all feign their concern but they can’t wait to show their friends

Everyone is watching all your turmoil through a screen

They’ll sell to TMZ so the world knows just what they’ve seen.

But everyone is gaping with their phones up in the air, 

To show the world that they were there...and pretend that they cared.

And yes, everyone loves a show, but darling, please don’t let go.

The wind is picking up, it’s getting cold

Why are you standing out there all on your own? 

Alone with a crowd assembled at your feet

Because they all want a good look, because they all just need a peek.

Phones up in the air, phones up in the air, phones up in the air, phones up in the air...

Wave them around like you just don’t care

Phones up in the air, phones up in the air
