Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(crickets chirping)

(flies buzzing)

(owl hoots in the distance)

(television static buzz)

(crickets chirping)

(television static buzz)

(wind whistles)

(bell chimes)

(engine roar)

(wind whistling)

(phone rings)

(phone rings)

(flies buzzing)

(phone ringing over whistling wind)

(door creaks)

("Stop And Stare" - OneRepublic)

♪ This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us ♪

♪ It's time to make our move, I'm shaking 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 ♪

♪ And 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 trying 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-a run 'til 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

♪ 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?
