lyrics

Standing Still (c) 2012 Chris Sims

Never in the right place at the right time
Always falling flat on my face ’cause I’m inclined
To keep standing still while everybody’s moving on

Always on the down low like a criminal
Guess I’ve just got nowhere to go nowhere at all
Nowhere else to be while everybody’s moving on

Hit me with a curve ball I’ll take a walk
Turn me into nothing at all just to make them talk
Turn me in a circle while everybody’s moving on

BRIDGE:
First you couldn’t get enough of me
Then you didn’t have the heart to leave me be
Now you’re gone you think you’ve set me free

Look me up in five years and have a laugh
You know that I’ll be right here like a photograph
Never ever changing while everybody’s moving on

BREAK

Always running too late to catch a ride
Never find the coat tails of fate so I guess I’ll bide
Only us chickens here while everybody’s moving on

BRIDGE:
First you couldn’t get enough of me
Then you didn’t have the heart to leave me be
Now you’re gone you think you’ve set me free

Look me up in ten years bet I’m still the same
All my happiness in arrears like a poor man’s game
Tragic ever after while everybody’s moving on

’Cause I’m never in the right place at the right time
Always falling flat on my face ’cause I’m inclined
To keep standing still while everybody’s moving on
I’ll keep standing still while everybody’s moving on
I’ll keep standing still while everybody’s moving on
I’ll keep standing still while everybody’s moving on
