[Verse 1]


This town is c

older now, I t

hink it's sick

 of us 

It's time to m

ake our move, 

I'm shakin off

 the rust 

I've got my he

art set on any

where but here

 

I'm staring do

wn myself, cou

nting up the y

ears 

Steady hands, 

just take the 

wheel... 

And every glan

ce is killing 

me 
           
Time to make o

              
ne last appeal

    
... for the li

fe I lead 


[Chorus]


Stop and stare

 
              
I think I'm mo

           
ving but I go 


nowhere 
              
Yeah I know th

        
at everyone ge

ts scared 
              
But I've becom

         
e what I can't

 be, oh 

Stop and stare

 
              
You start to w

              
onder why you'

   
re 'here' not 

there 
              
And you'd give

             
 anything to g

#
et what's fair

 
              
But fair ain't

              
 what you real

   
ly need 
              
Oh, can u see 

       
what I see 


[Verse 2]


They're tryin 

to come back, 

all my senses 

push 

Un-tie the wei

ght bags, I ne

ver thought I 

could... 

Steady feet, d

on't fail me n

ow 

Gonna run till

 you can't wal

k 

But something 

pulls my focus

 out 

And I'm standi

ng down... 


[Chorus]


Stop and stare

 
              
I think I'm mo

           
ving but I go 


nowhere 
              
Yeah I know th

        
at everyone ge

ts scared 
              
But I've becom
