When I turned 20, I was overcome
00:14
With the thought that I might not turn 21
00:20
Death upon my doorstep, if I took just one more step
00:26
There'd be nothing left of me except these songs
00:33
And my father told me, "Noah, when you don't know where you're goin'
00:39
Just stand still, soon enough you will
00:45
And when all the hope and joy you feel turns into paranoia
00:52
'Cause it will, remember just stand still"
00:58
Just stand still
01:04
Just stand still, oh
01:10
As you get older, it gets harder to change
01:16
You might find yourself alone with just your shame
01:22
But it's not over
01:28
It's all gonna be okay
01:30
And when times are tough remember what I say
01:35
My grandfather told my father, "It don't get easier, just harder
01:41
Yes, it will, remember just stand still
01:47
And when all the hope and joy you feel turns into paranoia
01:53
'Cause it will, remember just stand still"
01:59
Just stand still
02:05
Just stand still, yeah
02:11
Just stand still and watch the sunset bleed
02:17
With only dirt under your feet to feel, just stand still
02:21
67 thousand miles an hour around the sun
02:30
And that is how it feels, just stand still
02:35
In a universe that's infinite
02:42
Yet everything gets lost in it
02:45
You will just stand still
02:49
You'll be right, you'll be wrong, you'll be fine
02:54
'Cause life goes on and on, until, until
02:58
Just stand still (just stand still, just stand)
03:07
(Just stand still, just stand still, still)
03:11
Just stand still (just stand still, just stand)
03:19
(Just stand still, just stand still)
03:23
Just stand still (still)
03:25
Just stand still
03:31
Just stand still
03:37
Oh, oh, just stand still
03:41
03:54
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
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
As you get older, it gets harder to change
You might find yourself alone with just your shame
But it's not over
It's all gonna be okay
And when times are tough remember what I say
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 thousand 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, just stand still
