Time Stand Still

[Verse 1: Geddy Lee]
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

[Chorus 1: Geddy Lee, (Aimee Mann)]
(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

[Post-Chorus: Geddy Lee]
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away
Time stand still

[Verse 2: Geddy Lee]
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

[Chorus 2: Geddy Lee, (Aimee Mann)]
(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

[Post-Chorus: Geddy Lee]
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
Time stand still
Time stand still

[Bridge: Geddy Lee & Aimee Mann]
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

[Outro: Geddy Lee, Geddy Lee & Aimee Mann]
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
