Everyone's Judging

Lyrics

[Intro]
Court is now in session.

[Verse 1]
I’m walking down the avenue, keeping my own stride
But every single pigeon seems to psychoanalyze my life
The barista down on 4th Street hands me back my tea
With a micro-expression that dismantles my whole week
Did I say "thank you" too loud? Did I tip out of shame?
Now I’m mentally apologizing for my middle name.

[Chorus]
‘Cause everyone’s judging, the jury’s on the move
I’m feeling the phantom weight of the Sunday room
They’re holding up the scorecards, a solid five-point-two
Cancel me softly, I leave it up to you
I crave the grand review, but I’m terrified to check
The invisible comment section breathing down my neck.

[Verse 2]
I wore the velvet blazer, thought I’d be the main event
But the guy at Table 14 is looking at me with regret
I hear the little whispers from the statues in the park
They think my conversation lacks a certain kind of charm
It’s a marvelous affliction, this theater in the round
Where a polite little cough is a devastating sound.

[Chorus]
‘Cause everyone’s judging, the jury’s on the move
I’m feeling the phantom weight of the Sunday room
They’re holding up the scorecards, a solid five-point-two
Cancel me softly, I leave it up to you
I crave the grand review, but I’m terrified to check
The invisible comment section breathing down my neck.

[Bridge]
Here is the terrible, beautiful catch
I keep striking the flint, though I'm scared of the flash
I want you to watch me, I want you to stare
But the moment you do, I pretend I don't care
I’m begging for the verdict, then I run from the decree.

[Outro]
So tell me what you think of me.
Wait, no, keep it to yourself.
Everyone's judging.
Put the gavel on the shelf.
I'll just be standing over here, waiting for the final score
But hoping you lost the scorecard.
