Rush - Time Stand Still lyrics

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

I close my eyes

I 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,

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

Freeze this moment

A little bit longer

Make each sensation

A little bit stronger

Make each impression

A little bit stronger

Freeze this moment

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

The 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
