Time flies by
and one day you wake up
you're all alone
and wondering why
you let it pass you by
don't be so
careful that you
never get anywhere
you know
I'll be right by your side
Though I know sometimes
you wanna
break down and cry
and you never seem to
have a good reason why
Oh day after day after day
all you do is hope
things'll be okay
but the truth is you'll
be too numb to feel
if you keep standing still
standing still
You don't think
that you can take
another sunny day
You pray
for just a little rain
Look into
the mirror and remember
this is who you are
it's real
you can't go back now
Though I know sometimes
you wanna
break down and cry
and you never seem to
have a good reason why
Oh day after day after day
all you do is hope
things'll be okay
but the truth is you'll
be too numb to feel
if you keep standing still
standing still
all these aspirations
mixed up with infatuations
and when you try to see it
clearly
you go blind
Though I know sometimes
you wanna
break down and cry
and you never seem to
have a good reason why
Oh day after day after day
all you do is hope
things'll be okay
but the truth is you'll
be too numb to feel
if you keep standing still
Oh day after day after day
all you do is hope
things'll be okay
but the truth is you'll
be too numb to feel
if you keep standing still
standing still
don't be so
careful that you
never get anywhere
you know
I'll be right by your side
