OneRepublic – Stop and Stare Lyrics 8 years ago
*This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us* (Diagnosing my depression because its gone too far)
*It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust* (taking my meds, getting help, trying to move forward)
*I've got my heart set on anywhere but here* (Planning my future, wanting to move to PEI, planning college)
*I'm staring down myself, counting up the years* ( Wanting to leave and not being able to)

*Steady hands, just take the wheel...* (Hoping and begging things will get better)
*And every glance is killing me* (The judgement of others pushing me down again)
*Time to make one last appeal* (Forcing myself to push forward)
*For the life I lead* (Forcing myself to push forward)

*Stop and stare* (Me looking at my life)
*I think I'm moving but I go nowhere* (Thinking im getting places when in reality ive been able to do barely anything to move my life forward ex. Not able to get a job, not getting better grades, having less friends)
*Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared* (I know that a lot of people struggle through the same thing)
*But I've become what I can't be, oh* (Exactly the line)
*Stop and stare* (Me looking at my life)
*You start to wonder why you're here not there* (I tried my best to get what I wanted but I still got no where Ex. Job hunting)
*And you'd give anything to get what's fair* (I deserve so much after trying so hard)
*But fair ain't what you really need* (Maybe im pushing myself too much and should take small steps but I cant help but want to see big improvments)
*Oh, can you see what I see?* (exactly what it says)

*They're trying to come back, all my senses push* (Depression fighting me)
*Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could...* (again pushing through the depression

*Steady feet, don't fail me now* (Hoping I don’t fall back into depression again)
*I'mma run 'til you can't walk* (Running away from my depression that’s chasing me)
*Something pulls my focus out* (something gets set off triggering my depression again)
*And I'm standing down...* (giving into my depression)
