When I turned 20, I was overcome
With the thought that I might not turn 21
Death upon my doorstep, if I took just one more step
There'd be nothing left of me, except these songs
And my father told me
"Noah, when you don't know where you're going
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"
Just stand still
Just stand still, oh
Six months sober, but nothing much has changed
Life's not over, but I'm feeling twice the pain
And I'm not better, but I'm not quite the same
It keeps coming, so I keep counting the days
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"
Just stand still
Just stand still, yeah
Just stand still, and watch the sunset bleed
With only dirt under your feet to feel, just stand still
67 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
