So my back to the wind
Catch my breath
before I start off again
Living 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 stands still Not looking back but I want to look around
me now Time stands still
To more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time stands still
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away Experience slips away
Time stands 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,
ship runs aground
I could wait until the tide comes around
Time stands still Not looking back but I
want to look around me now Time stands still
To 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 stands still
Time stands still
I'm not looking back but I want to look around me now
To more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time stands still
Summer's going fast, night's 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 Experience slips away
The innocence slips away
