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 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...
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
Make each impression a little bit stronger Freeze this motion a little bit longer The innocence slips away...
Summer's going fast, nights growing colder Children growing up -- old friends growing colder Experience slips away...
