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 [bad word] aground.
I can wait until the [bad word] 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...
