Bystander
I just want a statue of a horse
Not all those men are on horses
I don't want silence on the train
From all those scared on-lookers
My heart's racing a hundred miles
While you eat through all that's good
And I wanna say, "Hey, stop and think"
But I just don't have the build
Hey, bystander, don't you stand there
All you do is normalize that fear
Hey, bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
Hey, bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
I feel bad when you weren't doing well
For never checking on you
Subconsciously, or maybe consciously
I just didn't wanna call you
I wanna tell you that I love you
But I just can't commit
I wanna tell you that I love you
But I think you'd see right through it
Now I'm playing Jenga in a craft beer bar
Having existential crisis
'Cause my back's always a work of art
Full of pain and suffering
And I'm one generation down the line
But that one makes all the difference
And I'm thinking to myself
How am I using all this privilege?
Hey, bystander, don't you stand there
All you do is normalize that fear
Raise your voice and make yourself clear
Hug a friend until there's no one near at all
Bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
Oh, bystander (hey, bystander)
You can't stand there (hey, bystander)
Oh, bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
Oh, bystander (hey, bystander)
You cannot stand there (hey, bystander)
Not all those men are on horses
I don't want silence on the train
From all those scared on-lookers
My heart's racing a hundred miles
While you eat through all that's good
And I wanna say, "Hey, stop and think"
But I just don't have the build
Hey, bystander, don't you stand there
All you do is normalize that fear
Hey, bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
Hey, bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
I feel bad when you weren't doing well
For never checking on you
Subconsciously, or maybe consciously
I just didn't wanna call you
I wanna tell you that I love you
But I just can't commit
I wanna tell you that I love you
But I think you'd see right through it
Now I'm playing Jenga in a craft beer bar
Having existential crisis
'Cause my back's always a work of art
Full of pain and suffering
And I'm one generation down the line
But that one makes all the difference
And I'm thinking to myself
How am I using all this privilege?
Hey, bystander, don't you stand there
All you do is normalize that fear
Raise your voice and make yourself clear
Hug a friend until there's no one near at all
Bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
Oh, bystander (hey, bystander)
You can't stand there (hey, bystander)
Oh, bystander (hey, bystander)
Don't just stand there (hey, bystander)
Oh, bystander (hey, bystander)
You cannot stand there (hey, bystander)
