He goes onto to say it’s about what matters, what lasts, and putting your eggs in the right baskets.
[Verse: Ned Russin]
Lately life moves slowly
I stop to smell a rose
Inhale, press its thorns
Against my nose
[Refrain: Ned Russin]
Stood in one place
Careless change
[Chorus: Ned Russin]
Can't escape
I'm a part of you
Engraved in the stone
Do you feel it too?
[Refrain: Ned Russin]
Stood in one place, restrained
Roses like me need rain
[Outro: Ned Russin]
Try hard not to care
The world won't cease to turn
A name you didn't choose
Is left in place of you
Can't escape
Careless change
