[Verse 1]
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 after me except these songs
[Pre-Chorus]
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"
[Chorus]
Just stand still
Just stand still, oh
[Verse 2]
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
But it keeps coming so I keep counting the days
[Pre-Chorus]
And my grandfather told my father
"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"
[Chorus]
Just stand still
Just stand still, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Just stand still and watch the sunset leave
With only dirt under your feet [?]
Just stand still
67 thousand miles an hour
‘Round the sun, that is how it feels
Just stand still
And the universe is infinite, yeah
Everything gets lost and then you will
Just stand still
You’ll be right, you’ll be wrong
You’ll be fine ‘cause life goes on
And [?] until, until
[Outro]
Just stand still
(Just stand still, just stand, just stand still, still)
Just stand still
(Just stand still, just stand, just stand still, still)
Just stand still, stand still
Just stand still, just stand still
