about

Through the lens of social media, people curate 'perfect' lives. Don't be fooled!
I wrote this song at the height of the early pandemic and it still feels true.

lyrics

She’s so goddam pretty
I think it hurts sometimes
I think she wakes up early
Waiting for the sun to shine

Never anything out of place
She walks a very fine line
And no one notices the way
Tears make her cheeks shine

Window watching, what do you see
Everybody’s got it better than me
Window watching, sometimes you creep
But everybody’s got something
they don’t want you to see

They’ve got it all together
Their kids, their jobs, their house, the dog
And in the photographs
I don’t think there’s a cloud at all

He works out every night
With someone who’s not his wife
He doesn’t think she notices
But everything’s out in the light

Window watching, what do you see
Everybody’s got it better than me
Window watching, sometimes you creep
But everybody’s got something
they don’t want you to see

I’ll make my life what I want it to be
Cause everybody’s watching me
Curate a life
What I want it to be
Everybody’s always watching
What do you want them to see

She almost made a move
But everybody said “stick it out”
Like they know his cold embrace
And the love she does without

Window watching, what do you see
Everybody’s got it better than me
Window watching, sometimes you creep
But everybody’s got something
they don’t want you to see
