Stand Still

Standing still thinking about what I lost 

Fire drill and you’re in the parking lot

Season changed and everything grows 

Do you remember my last name 

I told you years ago 

 

Day ends and we sit and watch the stars 
Dream about me

And I forgot who you are 

Are my words still on your wall

I’m sorry I forgot to call 

 

Spring is here and the flowers bloom 

The big tree still is looming over you 

Your still glowing under the sun 
The memories I have are worth more than I thought  

I don’t wanna forget you I want to forget the time 

 

I think I messed up long ago 
Life’s too short to not go with the flow 

Starry nights and cities in my head 

Towns and places where I’ll never be again 

My mind is flooded with memories of old 

Mountains and ruins I left so long ago 

 

Day begins and we sit and watch the sun 

You and me just like how it begun 

It’s the end I know for sure 
But I still want some more 
I wanna see your face again 
Somewhere besides your instagram 

 

Standing still under the city lights 

The stage waits for me tonight 
Like all those years ago
