Noah (Stand Still)

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"

Just stand still

Just stand still, oh

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 okay

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

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

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

Just stand still

Oh, oh, just stand still
