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
Time stand still
Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away
Time stand still
I turn my face to the
sun
Close my eyes
Let my defenses 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 sensation
A little bit stronger
Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips
away
The innocence slips
away
Time stand still
Time stand still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look
around me now
See more of the people
And the places that
surround me now
Time stand still
Summer's going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing
older
Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away
The innocence slips away
but in the shallow way where you don’t really
listen to the words, just the sound of a song.
Then one day as an adult,
I played it again,
and it devastated me.
The innocence slipped away.
