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
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 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
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Do you see what I see?
