Time Stand Still

Right now I can't put into words everything I'm feeling. I'm remembering a song by a group called Rush I used to listen to A LOT when I was a teenager. I'm posting the lyrics below. TIME STAND STILL 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 See more of the people And the places that surround me now Freeze this moment A little bit longer Make each sensation A little bit stronger 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 ship runs aground -- I can wait until the tide Comes around Make each impression A little bit stronger Freeze this motion A little bit longer The innocence slips away... Summer’s going fast -- Nights growing colder Children growing up -- Old friends growing older Experience slips away...
