Time Stand Still - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Geddy Lee]

I turn my back to the wind

To catch my breath before I start off again

Driven on without a moment to spend

To pass an evening with a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin

I'd like to pause, no matter what I pretend

Like some pilgrim who learns to transcend

Learns to live as if each step was the end

[Pre-Chorus: Aimee Mann & Geddy Lee]

Time stand still

I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now

Time stand still

See more of the people and the places that surround me now

Time stand still

[Chorus: Geddy Lee]

Freeze this moment a little bit longer

Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Experience slips away

Time stand still

[Verse 2: Geddy Lee]

I turn my face to the sun

Close my eyes, let my defences down

All those wounds that I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast

No time to pause, if I could slow it all down

Like some captain whose ship runs aground

I can wait until the tide comes around

[Pre-Chorus: Aimee Mann & Geddy Lee]

Time stand still

I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now

Time stand still

See more of the people and the places that surround me now

[Chorus: Geddy Lee]

Freeze this moment a little bit longer

Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Make each impression a little bit stronger

Freeze this motion a little bit longer

The innocence slips away

Time stand still

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus: Geddy Lee]

I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now

See more of the people and the places that surround me now

Time stand still

[Chorus: Geddy Lee]

Summer's going fast, nights growing colder

Children growing up, old friends growing older

Freeze this moment a little bit longer

Make each sensation a little bit stronger

Experience slips away

The innocence slips away
