"Noah (Stand Still)" lyrics

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 goin
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

As you get older it gets harder to change
You might find yourself alone with just your shame
But it's not over
It's all gonna be ok
And when times are tough, remember what I say

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 and watch the sunset bleed
With only dirt under your feet to feel
Just stand still
67 000 miles an hour
Around the sun
And that is how it feels
Just stand still
In a universe that's infinite
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

Just stand still
Just stand still
Still
Just stand still
Just stand still
Still
Just stand still
Just stand still

Just stand still
