It's the Stare

Maybe it's the rain that's swaying all of my opinions.
But with every step you take,
They seem rehearsed and unforgiving.
Could you rehearse that pickup line one more time?
And show us what you've really wanted.

It's the stare
that draws us from the beginning.
But a first impression's never lasting
if it can't carry on till night is over.

Who could understand the way
she moves when everybody's watching?
I can't make out any words that she's trying to tell me.
But her pages read like every magazine she's ever followed.
When makeup's down the drain,
to her that stare means nothing.

Oh, can you picture what it's like
to be first in line, with all of them watching from behind?
Looking forward, now press rewind.
Back to when a kiss could mean the world.
And such a simple thing could change
the way you viewed your life when you held on to everything.
Another hour has passed so grab a drink.
Maybe we could find a safer place
for you to sleep where you'd feel nothing.

It's the stare
that draws us from the beginning.
But a first impression's never lasting
if it can't carry on till night is over.

Who could understand the way
she moves when everybody's watching?
I can't make out any words that she's trying to tell me.
But her pages read like every magazine she's ever followed.
When makeup's down the drain,
to her that stare means nothing.

Hey, don't blush
because it can't help too much.
This new image must be confident.
And we all can assure
you'd feel much better
if someone drove you home tonight.
Can we take you home tonight?

Who could understand the way
she moves when everybody's watching?
