OneRepublic – Stop and Stare

Lyrics:

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
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 tags I never thought I could
Steady feet don’t fail me now,
I’m gonna run till you can’t walk
But something pulls my focus out, and I’m standing down.

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 tags I never thought I could
Steady feet don’t fail me now,
I’m gonna run till you can’t walk
But 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 get scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be
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

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be
Oh, do you see what I see
