[Verse 1]
I told you I would tell you everything you want to know
You want me to tell you now
You pressure me to shout it, need to hear about it
Think that I would count you out

[Pre-Chorus]
I let you find it on your own
Then I found myself alone

[Chorus]
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Ooh ooh, what can I do
If you're not here to tell you?
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me

[Verse 2]
I go through all the trouble of keeping it within my walls
I try to be as subtle as I can
Soon enough it eats me, all I’ve done defeats me
It looks like you were right again
And again

[Pre-Chorus]
I let you find it on your own
Then I found myself alone

[Chorus]
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Ooh ooh, what can I do
If you're not here to tell you?
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me

[Bridge]
The more I'm wanted, the more I'm wanted
The less I'm home, the less I'm home
If I'm forgotten, if I'm forgotten
I'll be alone, I'll be alone, I'll be alone
With everybody watching me

[Chorus]
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Ooh ooh, what can I do
If you're not here to tell you?
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me

[Outro]
Watching me, watching me, me, me
They're watching me, me, me
Watching me, me, me, me
Everybody's watching me

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
