Lyrics
This town is cold er now, I think it’s sick of us.
It’s time to make our move.
I’m shak in’ off the rust.
I’ve got my heart set on an y where but here.
I’m star in’ down my self, count in’ up the years.
Stead y hands, just take the wheel.
Ev ’ry glance is kill in’ me.
Time to make one last ap peal
for the life in’ I lead.
(E)Stop and stare.
I think I’m mov in’, but I (Bsus)go no where.
Yeah, I know that ev ’ry (C#m)one gets scared,
but I’ve be come what I can’t be.
Oh,
(E)stop and stare.
You start to won der why you’re (Bsus)here, not there.
And you’d give an y thing to (C#m)get what’s fair,
but fair ain’t what you real ly need.
Oh, can you see what I (E)see?
They’re try’n’ to come back, on all my sens es push.
Un tie the weight bags, I nev er thought I could.
Stead y feet, don’t fail me now.
I will run ’til you can’t walk.
Some thin’ pulls my fo cus out
and I’m stand in’ down.
