Stillness Lyrics

I'm thinking back on Thursday,
what I learned about your brain:
Stand still so you won't have to
get splashed by all the rain.
I'm thinking back on Saturday,
what I learned about your fear:
Stand still so you won't have to
always brush away the tear.

Stand still, and you will not
have to feel so fragile.
Stand still.
You won't have to be afraid
of all the time slipping behind.

I'm thinking back on Monday,
you were thinking 'bout last June:
Stand still so you won't have to
make your mind up so soon.
I'm thinking back on Wednesday,
what you didn't call to say:
Stand still so maybe all these thoughts
will somehow drift away.

Stand still, and you will not
have to feel so fragile.
Stand still.
You won't have to be afraid
of all the time slipping behind.
I'm thinking back on Friday,
what I think you tried to say:
Stand still so they will never know
that you have gone astray.

I'm thinking back on Sunday,
what I hope you understand:
It's okay for you to just stand still
and hold on to my hand.

It's okay for you to just stand still
and hold on to my hand.
