Staring Contest Songtext
von Mates of State

Hey, I like it like this

I can′t tell if it's early in the night
I left my phone on a step all night
I reach for the light, but I don′t turn on
Spend my day running on your lawn

I'm wild
Like I once was (I once was wild)

Heart stop, take me to the blacktop
Fear where I can find a place to stay
(Where I once was wild)
Climb higher on the chain link fence
It's all about you, I′m wild about you
Eye to eye, it′s a game, it's a contest

′94 I kissed you in the train park
I really needed you girl
I drive real slow past your house at night
You're gonna be mine if you don′t hold tight
Like I once was (I once was wild)


Heart stop, take me to the blacktop
Fear where I can find a place to stay
(Where I once was wild)
Climb higher on the chain link fence
It's all about you, I′m wild about you
Eye to eye, it's a game, it's a contest

Are you staring at me, ′cause we′re having a contest
You're making my heart stop
And I ran (I once was wild)

Heart stop, take me to the blacktop
Fear where I can find a place to stay
(Where I once was wild)
Climb higher on the chain link fence
It′s all about you, I'm wild about you
Eye to eye, it′s a game, it's a contest

Heart stop, take me to the blacktop
Fear where I can find a place to stay
(Where I once was wild)
Climb higher on the chain link fence
It′s all about you, I'm wild about you
Eye to eye, it's a game, it′s a contest
