Lyrics
[verse]
Rolling past the storefront, watching all the wannabes stare
Pointing at the same thing, never got the cash to spare
Talk a lot of numbers, but the numbers never add
Window shopping dreamers acting like the life they never had
I've been counting corners since the days I had nothing
Now I count in different rooms, but I ain't the one front-running
Save the compliments, save the questions on my chain
Watch me from the sidewalk, that's about as close as you'll gain
[chorus]
Window shopper, staring through the glass again
Talking all that money but you're broke back in the wind
Window shopper, dreaming 'bout a life that ain't your own
Meanwhile the real ones already built a life and home
[verse]
Every corner store's got a kid who wants the same
Pointing at the kicks, pointing at the cars, pointing at the fame
But wanting ain't the getting, and looking ain't the grind
Some folks stay window shopping their whole life, stuck behind
I remember being broke, staring like the rest
Difference is I moved when the moment gave the test
Stop the talking, start the walking if you want it bad
'Cause window shopping only gets you what you never had
[chorus]
Window shopper, staring through the glass again
Talking all that money but you're broke back in the wind
Window shopper, dreaming 'bout a life that ain't your own
Meanwhile the real ones already built a life and home
[bridge]
Glass reflecting back your face, showing who you really are
Keep on staring at the window, keep on wishing on the star
Or you flip the script and go and get it for yourself
Ain't nobody handing dreams to nobody off the shelf
[chorus]
Window shopper, staring through the glass again
Talking all that money but you're broke back in the wind
Window shopper, dreaming 'bout a life that ain't your own
Meanwhile the real ones already built a life and home
