Stop and Stare By OneRepublic, Music Video and Lyrics

«Stop and Stare» is the second single by pop rock band OneRepublic, produced by Greg Wells, from their debut album Dreaming Out Loud. «Stop and Stare» was released to US radio on November 27, 2007. It was later solicited to UK radio on December 16, 2007 and to Australian radio on December 17, 2007 following the success of previous single «Apologize» which was #30 that same week. The single was released on March 3, 2008 in the UK.

The video starts with people gathering at a funeral with a phone ringing and a door creaking while it's closing at a deserted town. We also see Ryan Tedder seemingly drowned in a bathtub, as he is completely submerged and unconscious. A different Ryan is shown standing over an empty grave, while a third Ryan is shown walking to a motel where he meets the band to sing the song. Soon people start gathering and watching from outside the motel the band is playing in, while a fourth Ryan in a hooded jacket is seen in the next door room of the motel looking at a T.V. with nothing but static. Meanwhile the Ryan standing over the empty grave seems to leave his body, splitting into a fifth Ryan, who begins walking towards the motel. As the fifth Ryan gets to the motel he is nearly hit by a car being driven by a sixth Ryan with a pregnant woman in the back. The car comes to a stop as these two Ryans look at each other. The static TV in the motel room with the hooded Ryan bursts into flames, and the video ends with the Ryan in the bathtub resurfacing.

Stop and Stare By OneRepublic 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 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…
