A watched kettle never boils

A watched kettle never boils

[Verse 1]
I planted a dream in the soil of time,
Watered it gently with rhythm and rhyme.
I stared at the sprout, but it wouldn’t show —
Turns out it needs space and time to grow.

[Pre-Chorus]
The photons blink when you try to see,
But mystery blooms when you let things be.

[Chorus]
'Cause a watched kettle never boils, they say,
And atoms dance when you look away.
So breathe in deep, collapse no wave,
Let Schrödinger’s cat have its curious cave.
Oh, wait it out, don’t press or toil —
A watched kettle never boils.

[Refrain]
Aaah aaaah oh oh woah ah
Aaah aaaah oh oh woah ah
A watched kettle never boils

[Verse 2]
An owl in the forest won’t hoot on cue,
It senses your gaze and hides from view.
Like electrons tracing a path unknown,
They’re somewhere, sure — just not when shown.

[Pre-Chorus]
So hush your thoughts and dim the light,
What hides in shadow may just be right.

[Chorus]
'Cause a watched kettle never boils, it’s true,
Its bubbles shy from the eye of you.
So hold your hopes with gentle hands,
Like gravity shaping far-off lands.
Don’t chase the wave, just let it uncoil —
A watched kettle never boils.

[Refrain]
Aaah aaaah oh oh woah ah
Aaah aaaah oh oh woah ah
A watched kettle never boils

[Verse 3]
A rainbow’s path bends through drops and air,
It’s there and not there — here, then elsewhere.
You can’t pin it down with a measuring tape,
It’s beauty lies in its grand escape.

[Pre-Chorus]
Not all things yield to force or scheme,
Some live between the math and dream.

[Final Chorus]
'Cause a watched kettle never boils, you know,
Its tempo runs on a subtler flow.
So sing your song, then walk away,
Let time and chance have their gentle say.
The truth reveals through quantum spoils —
A watched kettle never boils.

[Refrain]
Aaah aaaah oh oh woah ah
Aaah aaaah oh oh woah ah
A watched kettle never boils
