Wiki:

"Stop and Stare" is a fusion of anthemic guitars and insistent vocals and describes the common frustration of getting to a place in life where you think, "How in the world did I end up here, this isn't where I wanted to be, watching what I wanted pass me by,"

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] 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 gonna run 'til you can't walk Something pulls my focus out And I'm standing down [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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?
