IF YOU STOP LOOKING
By The Unique American Lyricist
[Verse 1]
You’ve been chasing every maybe,
Every promise, every spark,
Trying to find somebody
Who can light up your heart
You’ve been searching through the faces,
Looking for that perfect sign,
But maybe what you’ve been waiting for
Has been here the whole time
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to run another mile,
You don't have to search another crowd
Maybe love is closer than you think,
Maybe, look at the one you're looking past right now.
[Chorus]
If you stop looking, he'll appear,
Right when you let go of the fear
When you stop chasing every dream,
Maybe love is closer than it seems
If you stop looking, you'll find
The one who's been right by your side
You don't have to search anymore,
You might find what you've been looking for
(What you've been looking for)
[Verse 2]
You’ve been making lists of qualities,
Trying to find the perfect match,
Waiting for a movie moment, that only happens in dreams
Waiting for a lightning flash
But love doesn't always fall out of the sky or knock down doors,
Sometimes it waits there quietly right in front of you,
And sometimes the person you've been hoping for
Is the one that's too close for you to see, standing right in front of you
[Pre-Chorus]
So put your heart down for a minute,
Let the whole world fade away,
You might be surprised if you just listen
So just stop looking the wrong way
[Chorus]
If you stop looking, he'll appear,
Right when you let go of the fear
When you stop chasing every dream,
Maybe love is closer than it seems
If you stop looking, you'll soon find,
The one who's been right by your side
You don't have to search anymore,
You might find what you've been looking for
(If you stop looking)
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe he's closer, closer than you know,
Maybe he's still waiting, waiting for you to go slow
Maybe the answer isn't somewhere out there,
He just might be standing right here
[Bridge]
What if you stop searching every room?
What if you stop wondering who?
What if the man you've pictured in your mind
Isn't somebody you can just never find?
What if you turn around tonight?
What if he's always been in your life?
What if you finally look my way?
Maybe all the roads you've traveled
Led you to this place
[Final Chorus]
If you stop looking, he'll appear,
Right when you let go of the fear
When you stop chasing every dream,
Maybe love is closer than it seems
If you stop looking, you will find,
The one who's been right by your side
You don't have to search anymore,
You might find what you've been looking for
[Final Outro]
So stop looking...
Please stop searching...
Stop wondering where he could be,
Just turn around and take a look at me
If you stop looking...
you will see...
That I've been right here...
...
Baby, it's me..
