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

It's an empty shell I live in The doors are always closed And I spend my weeks Losing my head Resting my bones And they say that nothing's given So I guess I'll get nothing at all And I'll accept defeat 'Cause you can't swing When the fight's lost You know Can't see the grass getting greener 'cause Out here ain't nothing but blue And your eyes blood red, the high helps a little But everyone you meet's just passing through White lies take all of the color from you Most nights you don't sleep at all And you black out blind you hide Is there any wonder no one ever really tries to call? You say Oo-oo, sometimes I feel like an animal Oo-oo, I climb so high just to feel a fall and let it go So look me in the eyes Am I someone else? Oo-oo, sometimes I feel like an animal An animal, an animal And I always have a vision But I always watch it go Then I feel too weak And it's too much And it's too close, hmm-mm Can't see the grass getting greener 'cause Out here ain't nothing but blue And your eyes blood red, the high helps a little But everyone you meet's just passing through White lies take all of the color from you Most nights you don't sleep at all And you black out blind you hide Is there any wonder no one ever really tries to call? You say Oo-oo, sometimes I feel like an animal Oo-oo, I climb so high just to feel a fall and let it go So look me in the eyes Am I someone else? Oo-oo, sometimes I feel like an animal An animal, an animal Can't see the grass getting greener 'cause Out here ain't nothing but blue And your eyes blood red, the high helps a little But everyone you meet's just passing through You say Oo-oo, sometimes I feel like an animal Oo-oo, I climb so high just to feel a fall and let it go So look me in the eyes, am I someone else? Oo-oo, sometimes I feel like an animal An animal, an animal Oo-oo Oo-oo

Oh, she hates to say goodbye So she only says goodnight When she goes, she stops to look behind And I'll sink Oh, she sleeps with one eye closed So she can tell when she's alone Oh no, this summer comes and goes But I'll sink Oh, she's the sunset in the west Oh, she's sleep when I need rest And though this ship can be saved yet And oh, for you, I would never sink again And oh, for you, I would never sink again Oh, she promises to write I know, it's harder if she tries So, I have grown To tell myself a lie and I'll sink Time slows to let me jog along High hopes, don't last me very long But winding roads, they never seem to stop And I'll sink Oh, she's the sunset in the west Oh, she's sleep when I need rest And though the ship can be saved yet And oh, for you, I would never sink again And oh I, would never sink again And oh I, would never sink again And oh I, would never sink again And oh, for you, I would never sink again And oh, for you, I would never sink again Oh, she's the path on which I tread Oh, she's the shiver up my neck Oh, she's the blood rush to my head Oh, for you, I would never sink again And oh, for you, I would never sink again

I'm sailin' away to a place I'm afraid of The dawn isn't here, the sun hasn't rose I'm drinkin' my days with the coastal longshoreman They got money to make and children back home And the last that I heard you were down in New Orleans Workin' your days at the print I drink 'til I drown, and I smoke 'til I'm burnin' Your hands are all over my scent I worry for you, you worry for me And it's fine if we know we won't change Collect every dream in these old empty pockets And hope that I'll need them someday But the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in The bridges have long since been burnt The ash of the home that I started the fire in It starts to return to the earth I'm leavin' this town, and I'm changin' my address I know that you'll come if you want It's not Halloween but the ghost you dressed up as Sure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt It's an ode to the hole that I found myself stuck in A song for the grave that I dug There's a murder of crows in the lowlight off Boston And I see your face in each one I'm losin' myself in the tiniest objects I'm seein' my life on a screen I'm hearin' your voice in a strange foreign language If only I learned how to speak But the wreckage of you I no longer reside in The bridges have long since been burnt And the ash of the home that I started the fire in It starts to return to the earth I'm leavin' this town, and I'm changin' my address I know that you'll come if you want It's not Halloween but the ghost you dressed up as Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, you know how to haunt Mmm (ah-ooh, ooh), you know to haunt Know how to haunt, mmm (ah-ooh, ooh) I know that you fear that I'm wicked and weary I know that you're fearin' the end But I only tell truth when I'm sure that I'm lyin' So, I'm settin' sail once again
