World Stood Still

Every time I fall, I fall so heavily

But when I'm pushed, I come crashing through the floor

And the best intentions seem to soften my fall

Like a broken trampoline

But if the world stood still

I'd be still with you

If the world stood still

I'd be still with you

But the world will never stand still

There's this thing that I'm turning, I'm turning into

You recognize it and I know you, too

You sit on my bed, your hands in my head

And your heart beats a catastrophical tune

If the world stood still

I'd be still with you

If the world stood still

I'd be still with you

But the world will never stand still

And oh, you kicked so hard

You sucked the empty sea right out of my mouth

Down into the storm bellowing well below these salty lips

And it takes all I am to love you

Despite all my evil and envious waves

Angrily crashing all around your ship

And I pick myself, myself off the ground

And I dust myself, myself off again

Though I disapprove of these things that I do

I'm trying, oh, how I'm trying to affect you, too

If the world stood still

I'd be still with you

If the world stood still

I'd be still with you

But the world will never

No, the world will never

No, the world will never stand, stand

Stand, stand

Stand still
