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
id 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 -- im 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 defences down -- all those wounds
that i cant 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 -- im 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 -- im 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 -- summers 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...
