C#m
I turn my back to the wind
A                                 E
To catch my breath before I start off again
                     B
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
         A                B
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

Chorus:
  A           E
(Time stand still)
C#m
I'm not looking back
       B
But I want to look around me now
  A           E
(Time stand still)
     C#m
See more of the people
          B
And the places that surround me now
 A           B
Time stand still

E            C#m
Freeze this moment
              B
A little bit longer
A            F#m
Make each sensation
                E
A little bit stronger

D            A     E
Experience slips away
D            A     B
Experience slips away
 A           B
Time stand still

C#m
I turn my face to the sun
  A
Close my eyes
          E
Let my defenses down
All those wounds
        B
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

Chorus:
(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

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
The innocence slips away

Time stand still
Time stand still

Chorus:
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

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
Experience slips away
The innocence slips away
