Daily life
watch the world go by
observe life while relaxing
To watch the world go by means to relax while observing people and activity around you.
Hear it in real life
What do you do when you need to relax?
I find a quiet cafe and watch the world go by.
On sunny afternoons, I like to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: watch the world passing by
Say: watch the world go by
The fixed expression uses "go by" after "the world."
Build it
How it fits in a sentence.
sit and watch the world go by; watch the world go by from a cafe
Your turn: say it out loud

Say it out loud two or three times, until it feels like yours.
watch the world go by
observe life while relaxing
“On sunny afternoons, I like to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by.”
