One republic- Stop and Stare

 

This town is colder now,

I think it’s sick of us

It’s time to make our move,

 I’m shakin' off the rust

I’ve got my heart set on anywhere but here

I’m staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands just take the wheel

Every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal

For the life I lead

Stop and stare

I think I’m moving but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you’re here not there

And you’d give anything to get what’s fair

But fair ain’t what you really need

Oh, can you see what I see?

They’re tryin' to come back, all my senses push

Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could

Steady feet, don’t fail me now

I'm gonna run till you can’t walk

Something pulls my focus out

And I’m standing down

Stop and stare

I think I’m moving but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you’re here not there

And you’d give anything to get what’s fair

But fair ain’t what you really need

Oh, you don’t need
What you need, what you need

What you need

Stop and stare

I think I’m moving but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

I’ve become what I can’t be

Oh, do you see what I see?
