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
