I WON’T STAND STILL

AM I WALKING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD
ARE MY DAYDREAMS TOO BIG FOR CHILDHOOD OR JUST ME
SHOULD HAVE STUCK TO FERRIS WHEELS AND NORMAL THINGS
BUT I NEVER KNEW WHAT THAT WAS
LATCH KEY KID AND UNFORTUNATE LOVE

I WON’T STAND STILL
I WON’T GO BACK
I WON’T STAND STILL BEEN THERE DONE THAT
AND I’M TIRED OF WATCHING AT A SNAILS PACE
WHILE LIFE’S RUNNING ITS’ OWN RACE
AND I’M ALWAYS WALTZING A STEP BEHIND

PAIN IS A WEAKNESS THAT I CAN’T AFFORD
AND TO TELL THE TRUTH BY NOW IT’S DOWNRIGHT BORING
TRUTH AND FICTION ARE OFTEN THE SAME
BUT YOU CAN CHANGE
THE ENDING BY BLOWING OFF THE BLAME

I WON’T STAND STILL
I WON’T GO BACK
I WON’T STAND STILL BEEN THERE DONE THAT
AND I’M TIRED OF WATCHING AT A SNAILS PACE
WHILE LIFE’S RUNNING ITS’ OWN RACE
AND I’M ALWAYS WALTZING A STEP BEHIND

WASH ME IN THE WATER
BAPTIZE ALL MY SHAME
SHOWER ME WITH FORGIVENESS
BUT DON’T EVER CHANGE MY NAME

I WON’T STAND STILL
I WON’T GO BACK
I WON’T STAND STILL BEEN THERE DONE THAT
AND I’M TIRED OF WATCHING AT A SNAILS PACE
WHILE LIFE’S RUNNING ITS’ OWN RACE
AND I’M ALWAYS WALTZING A STEP BEHIND
