I turn my back to the wind
 To catch my breath
 Before I start off again
 Driven on
 without a moment to spend
 To pass an evening
 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
 
 Time stand still
 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
 
 Freeze this moment
 A little bit longer
 Make each sensation
 A little bit stronger
 Experience slips away
 
 I turn my face to the sun
 Close my eyes
 Let my defences down
 All those wounds
 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
 
 Make each impression
 A little bit stronger
 Freeze this motion
 A little bit longer
 The innocence slips away
 
 Summer's going fast
 Nights growing colder
 Children growing up
 Old friends growing older
 Experience slips away
