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

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 bеtter, but I'm not quite the samе
But it's 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
The 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 the universe, the symphony, yeah
everything is nice and then 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

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, oh, just stand still
