Stop and Stare
I loved the song “Apologize” by OneRepublic featuring Timbaland. But after a while it’s been overplayed, and am a bit sick of it now. When I heard the second single by OneRepublic… I totally loved it! It has a real haunting melody that tugs at my heartstrings.
Stop And Stare by OneRepublic
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 u see what I see
They’re tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could…
Steady feet, don’t fail me now
Gonna run till you can’t walk
But 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 u need, what u 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 u see what I see…
Here’s the closest copy I can find on Youtube that allows external websites to embed the video:

Interestingly, found a few self-made music videos done to this song; some are school projects. Here’s a pretty decent one:
Oh, and of course, OneRepublic’s Official Website.
I think I may be becoming a fan. As soon as I find out the band members’ names, of course.
