The Offspring - Staring At The Sun

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's 'cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned up by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun

(Hey) when I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
(Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
(Hey) There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun, whoa

(Hey) when I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
(Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
(Hey) There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun, whoa

(Hey) maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
(Hey) dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
(Hey) everyone's around but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's 'cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned up by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
