Where Time Stands Still

Baby, where's that place where time stands still?

I remember like a lover can

But I forget it like a leaver will

It's no place you can get to by yourself

Gotta love someone and they love you

Time will stop for nothin' else

And memory plays tricks on us

The more we cling, the less we trust

And the less we trust the more we hurt

And as time goes on it just gets worse

So baby, where's that place where time stood still?

Is it under glass inside a frame?

Was it over when you had your fill?

And here we are with nothing

But this emptiness inside of us

Your smile a fitting, final gesture

Wish I could have loved you better

Baby, where's that place where time stands still?

I remember like a lover can

But I forget it like a leaver will

It's the first time that you held my hand

It's the smell and the taste and the fear and the thrill

It's everything I understand, and all the things I never will
