歌词

this town is cooler now
i think it's sick of us
it's time to make our move
i'm shakin' off the rust
i've got my heart set on anywhere but here
i'm staring down myself, counting up the years
steady hands just take the wheel
every glance is killing me
time to make on elast appeal for the life i lead
stop and stare
i think i'm moving, but i go nowhere
yeah, i know that everyone gets scared
but i've become what i can't be
stop and stare
you start to wonder why you're here not there
and you'd give anything to get what's fair
but fair ain't what you really need
oh, can you see what i see
they're tryin' to come back, all my senses push
untie the weight tags i never thought i could
steady feet don't fail me now,
i'm gonna run till you can't walk
but something pulls my focus out, and i'm standing down.
stop and stare
i think i'm moving but i go nowhere
yeah, i know that everyone get scared
but i've become what i can't be
stop and stare
you start to wonder why you're here not there
and you'd give anything to get what's fair
but fair ain't what you really need
oh, you don't need
stop and stare
i think i'm moving but i go nowhere
yeah, i know that everyone get scared
but i've become what i can't be
oh, do you see what i see.

姓名：OneRepublic
OneRepublic（中文翻译「共和时代」）是美国的一个流行摇滚乐队，成立于科罗拉多州。自2006年夏天以来，他们活跃与网络，并成为MYSPACE最受欢迎的艺人之一。作曲／制作人Ryan Tedder 和他的高中朋友Zach Filkins 在科罗拉多州斯布林市创建了乐队。然后乐队搬迁到洛杉矶。在Columbia Records短暂的工作之后，他们和Interscope Records/Mosley Music Group 签约了，并且完成了和乐队同名的首张专辑。这张专辑将在2007年末发行。乐队的核心Ryan Tedder同样也是创作pop, rock,rnb的作曲／制作人。他们的歌曲"Apologize"的混音版本被收入Timbaland2007年发行的专辑TimbalandPresents: Shock Value中。这首歌曲的原始版本将会作为即将到来的专辑的单曲发行。８月末，在洛杉矶本地电台KIIS-FM的节目中，这首歌受到了大量的点播。2007年８月２日乐队在FOX电视台的 “So You Think You Can Dance”节目中现场表演了 "Apologize"。
　　能够在Timbaland那张大牌云集的专辑中脱颖而出，OneRepublic自然不会是泛泛之辈，不过成名也是需要运气的，乐队灵魂人物／主唱Ryan Tedder早于2003年就写成了《Apologize》并进入Timbaland旗下担任制作人，和ZachFilkins等人组成乐队后，等待4年才得到了浮出水面的机会。
