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

Six months sober

But nothing much has changed

Life's not over but I'm feeling twice the pain

I'm not better but I'm not quite the same

It keeps coming

So I keep counting the days

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

67,000 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-oh-oh-oh-oh, just stand still
