Staring at the Sun [live] Songtext
von The Offspring

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, woah-oh-oh
As you′re staring at the sun, woah-oh-oh
As you're staring at the sun, woah-oh-oh
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, woah-oh-oh
As you're staring at the sun, woah-oh-oh

(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, woah-oh-oh
As you're staring at the sun, woah-oh-oh

(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, woah-oh-oh
As you're staring at the sun, woah-oh-oh
As you′re staring at the sun, woah-oh-oh
As you′re staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun

Yeah, alright
Ooh
