Time Stand Still Lyrics

I turn my back to the wind

 To catch my breath

 Before I start off again.

 Driven on without a moment to spend

 To pass an evening with a drink and a friend

 

 I let my skin get too thin

 I'd like to pause

 No matter what I pretend

 Like some pilgrim

 Who learns to transcend

 Learns to live as if each step was the end

 

 (Time stand still)

 I'm not looking back

 But I want to look around me now

 (Time stand still)

 See more of the people and the places that surround me now

 Freeze this moment a little bit longer

 Make each sensation a little bit stronger

 Experience slips away

 Experience slips away

 

 I turn my face to the sun

 Close my eyes

 Let my defences down

 All those wounds that I can't get unwound

 

 I let my past go too fast

 No time to pause

 If I could slow it all down

 Like some captain, whose ship runs aground

 I can wait until the tide comes around

 

 (Time stand still)

 I'm not looking back

 But I want to look around me now

 (Time stand still)

 See more of the people and the places that surround me now

 Freeze this moment a little bit longer

 Make each impression a little bit stronger

 Freeze this motion a little bit longer

 The innocence slips away

 The innocence slips away...

 

 Summer's going fast, nights growing colder

 Children growing up, old friends growing older

 Freeze this moment a little bit longer

 Make each impression a little bit stronger

 Experience slips away

 Experience slips away...

 The innocence slips away
