That imaginary line, just a few feet from the road
You drew it just to show me how far that I could go
Then one day I crossed it, you scooped me up and brought me back
You always seemed to be right there like that

Later I had smoking in my plans one afternoon
I had the matches and the cigarette, cracked the window in my room
Just when that old coffin nail was right up at my lips
That's when I felt your hand around my wrist

I grew up believing there was nothing you couldn't see
But I wonder if you knew while you were watching me

I was watching you
Even when you didn't see me I was watching you
Peeking around the corner from my point of view
Picking up on everything you'd say and do
I was watching you

I remember every detail about your voice and face
The way you lived your life and always had such grace
I even saw your weakness and how you made it make you strong
And I watched you admit when you were wrong

I was watching you
Even when you didn't see me I was watching you
Peeking around the corner from my point of view
Picking up on everything you'd say and do
I was watching you

And I wonder, would you recognize yourself
In who I've come to be
There's a reason there's a lot of you in me
Cause I was watching you

Peeking around the corner from my point of view
And I wonder if you knew while you were watching me
I was watching you
I was watching you
I was watching you
