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...
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.
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, Make each impression a little bit stronger, Freeze this motion a little bit longer. The innocence slips away, The innocence slips away...
I'm not looking back But I want to look around 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...
