Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking on a tightrope
High on all this false hope
Through a foggy window
I can see myself
[Verse 2]
She says slow and steady
If you were there already
You might keep forgetting
Good things just take time
[Chorus]
'Cause I am at a standstill
Maybe I should stand still
'Cause when I'm moving fast again and halfway up the hill
I'll be wishing I could stand still
[Verse 3]
Hate to even ask it
Has love lost its magic?
Sitting here in traffic
Wishing we were somewhere else
[Verse 4]
But I'd rather be with you
Than pretending I don't miss you
Can we just see this through?
Give it one more try
[Chorus]
'Cause we are at standstill
Maybe we should stand still
I'm scared it's gonna end, but then again, everything will
So baby, let's just stand still
[Bridge]
Standing on the sidelines as people pass you by
Smiling in the fast lane
They seem so secure, but I'm pretty sure at some point, they felt the same
[Verse 5]
So, don't you even sweat it
Everyone's just guessing
It's one of life's great lessons
To just enjoy the ride
[Chorus]
So, if you're at a standstill
It's okay to stand still
You don't have to gain the world to say that you're fulfilled
No, you just have to stand still
