Stand Still
Every kid just wants to turn eighteen
Get into a bar, drive their own car, and make sure everybody sees
I was counting down the days 'til I could leave this town
But thinking 'bout it now
I was so afraid of settling
Always looking for the next best thing
I tried to get away, thinking if I stayed
I'd end up ordinary
Always aimed at moving targets
But the thing that hits the hardest
Is the time that you miss, when you're busy chasing a 10-year dream
Turns out the moments that don't seem to matter are the ones that will
And If I could go back
I'd just stand still
I took my shot and I got my city lights
Spent a lot of years and tears trying to get it right
I missed barbeques and nights with you, and coffee after church
But really what's it worth?
I was so afraid of settling
Always looking for the next best thing
I tried to get away, thinking if I stayed
I'd end up ordinary
Always aimed at moving targets
But the thing that hits the hardest
Is the time that you miss, when you're busy chasing a 10-year dream
Turns out the moments that don't seem to matter are the ones that will
And If I could go back
I'd just stand still
Before you know it, your parents have gotten old
The dog's moving slower, and the neighbours house has sold
Time moves on, and people change while you're busy making plans
I didn't understand
I was so afraid of settling
Always looking for the next best thing
I tried to get away, thinking if I stayed
I'd end up ordinary
Always aimed at moving targets
But the thing that hits the hardest
Is the time that you miss, when you're busy chasing a 10-year dream
Turns out the moments that don't seem to matter are the ones that will
And If I could go back
Oooh if I could go back
I'd just stand still
Get into a bar, drive their own car, and make sure everybody sees
I was counting down the days 'til I could leave this town
But thinking 'bout it now
I was so afraid of settling
Always looking for the next best thing
I tried to get away, thinking if I stayed
I'd end up ordinary
Always aimed at moving targets
But the thing that hits the hardest
Is the time that you miss, when you're busy chasing a 10-year dream
Turns out the moments that don't seem to matter are the ones that will
And If I could go back
I'd just stand still
I took my shot and I got my city lights
Spent a lot of years and tears trying to get it right
I missed barbeques and nights with you, and coffee after church
But really what's it worth?
I was so afraid of settling
Always looking for the next best thing
I tried to get away, thinking if I stayed
I'd end up ordinary
Always aimed at moving targets
But the thing that hits the hardest
Is the time that you miss, when you're busy chasing a 10-year dream
Turns out the moments that don't seem to matter are the ones that will
And If I could go back
I'd just stand still
Before you know it, your parents have gotten old
The dog's moving slower, and the neighbours house has sold
Time moves on, and people change while you're busy making plans
I didn't understand
I was so afraid of settling
Always looking for the next best thing
I tried to get away, thinking if I stayed
I'd end up ordinary
Always aimed at moving targets
But the thing that hits the hardest
Is the time that you miss, when you're busy chasing a 10-year dream
Turns out the moments that don't seem to matter are the ones that will
And If I could go back
Oooh if I could go back
I'd just stand still
