Bystander Effect
Put yourself in my line of sight again
You were looking right at me, or maybe I was mistaken
And all my friends tell me it's a sign that you moved to my city
Do I sound crazy?
Or maybe I should
Trust my gut
It's obvious there's something between the two of us
But you won't move, and I don't wanna say too much
So I'll stand still against my will, I guess
And fall victim to the bystander effect
Mmmmm
The bystander effect
Mmmm
Usually I'd be the first to jump in
Even into cold water, even though we're "just friends"
And it hurts to hold my breath this long
But I'd take the pain over being wrong
Or being embarrassed
Oh my god, I'm so scared to
Trust my gut
It's obvious there's something between the two of us
But you won't move, and I don't wanna say too much
So I'll stand still against my will, I guess
And fall victim to the bystander effect
Mmmmm
The bystander effect
Mmmm
And I'll tell myself:
It's not that deep, it's just basic psychology
The heart is just an organ, I'm sorry if that's morbid
When you look at me, it's just brain chemistry
Yes, my pupils dilate but I'll swear that it's not fate
So I won't
Trust my gut
It's obvious there's something between the two of us
But you won't move, and I don't wanna say too much
So I'll stand still against my will, I guess
And fall victim to the bystander effect
Mmmmm
The bystander effect
Mmmm
Oh the two of us
I know you know there's something
If you don't move, then I won't
So won't you just...
