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
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 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 could 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
Experience slips away
The innocence slips away
