Noah (Stand Still)

[Verse 1]
When I turned twenty, I was overcome
With the thought that I might not turn twenty-one
Death upon my doorstep, if I took just one more step
There'd be nothing left of me except these songs

[Chorus]
And my father told me, "Noah, when you don't know where you're goin'
Just stand still, soon enough you will
And when all the hope and joy you feel turns into paranoia
'Cause it will, remember just stand still"

[Post-Chorus]
Just stand still
Just stand still, oh

[Verse 2]
Six months sober, but nothing much has changed
Life's not over but I'm feeling twice the pain
And I'm not bеtter, but I'm not quite the samе
But it keeps coming, so I keep countin' the days

[Chorus]
And my grandfather told my father, "It don't get easier, just harder
Yes, it will, remember just stand still
And when all the hope and joy you feel turns into paranoia
'Cause it will, remember just stand still"

[Post-Chorus]
Just stand still
Just stand still, yeah

[Bridge]
Just stand still and watch the sunset bleed
With only dirt under your feet to feel, just stand still
Sixty-seven thousand miles an hour around the sun
And that is how it feels, just stand still
In a universe that's infinite
Yet everything gets lost in it
You will just stand still
You'll be right, you'll be wrong, you'll be fine
'Cause life goes on and on, until, until

[Outro]
Just stand still (Just stand still, just stand, just stand still, just stand still, still)
Just stand still (Just stand still, just stand, just stand still, just stand still)
Just stand still (Still)
Just stand still
Oh, just stand still
Oh, oh, just stand still
