Artist：One Republic
Song：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
Steady¹ hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing² 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 u see what I see

They're tryin to come back
All my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags
Sometimes now I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus³ out
And I'm standing⁴ 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...What u need Oh
What u need What u need What u need
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, do u see what I see...
