[Intro] Don't look. Don't look. Don't look. Too late. I was doing fine Till you walked in Natural habitat Perfect specimen No anxiety No self-awareness No dramatic pauses No existential errors Then your eyes met mine Across the room And suddenly my hands Forgot what hands should do I dropped my drink Lost my name You called it chemistry I call it measurement [Pre-Chorus] Everything was normal Everything was smooth Then you started watching And I became the news [Hook] You looked at me Now I'm acting different You looked at me Now the whole experiment shifted I was stable I was fine Then observation changed the design That's the observer effect Observer effect Every time you look I become something else [Verse 2] You ask how I'm doing I forget immediately You ask where I'm going I lose all certainty You ask what I'm thinking The thought escapes Like it heard your footsteps And evacuated the place I had a personality Five minutes ago Now I'm performing A documentary show Narrated by panic Directed by doubt Produced by the fact That you're hanging around [Pre-Chorus] Everything was working Everything made sense Then you brought attention And attention brought consequences [Hook] You looked at me Now I'm acting different You looked at me Now the whole experiment shifted I was stable I was fine Then observation changed the design That's the observer effect Observer effect Every time you look I become something else [Bridge] Watch Change Watch Change Watch Change Every camera Creates a pose Every spotlight Rewrites the show Watch Change Watch Change Nobody knows What nobody knows [Breakdown] I wasn't nervous Until I noticed You noticing Me noticing You noticing Me Now we're both trapped Inside the process [Final Hook] You looked at me Now I'm acting different You looked at me Now the whole experiment shifted I was stable I was fine Then observation changed the design That's the observer effect Observer effect Every time you look I become something else [Outro] Don't look. Don't look. Don't... ...look. Too late.
