Standstill

This song was written at a time when everything seemed wrong, when events outside of ourselves would have pitted us against each other. It's about a friendship put to the test like none has ever been, before or since, and coming out even stronger.

Written Spring 2002

Another day, I wake up thinking
I'm still tired, though I was just sleeping
I wish I was just dreaming
Will this never find an end?

But then the world stands still around me
And for a moment I can see
And in this silence, all is forgotten
And all that is is you and me

But once again the madness sets in
And I'm thrown to the ground again
I think I see me running
Trying to fix this mess I'm in

But then the world stands still around me
And for a moment I can see
And in this silence, all is forgotten
And all that is is you and me

And now my mind is racing
I feel my world begin to spin
I think I feel me falling
Reaching for your hand again

And then the world stands still around me
And for a moment I can see
And in this silence, all is forgotten
And all that is is you and me

So make my world stand still around you
Give me a moment here with you
That in this silence, I am forgotten
And all that is is me and you

And then my world will be still around me
And for a moment I will see
That in this silence, all is forgotten
And all that is is you and me

All that is is you and me
All that is is you and me
All that is is you and me
You and me

I wrote it about a friend from high school. Something happened between two students that really divided our school; one of those students was a good friend of hers, the other a good friend of mine. In many ways, it felt like it really pitted us against each other, and at one point, I remember thinking that our friendship was over. After avoiding each other for a couple days, it was right about when I'd almost given up hope, she sat down next to me in class and said, "Hey, how are you?" We got a chance to talk later, decided it didn't need to affect our friendship, and put it behind us. This song is about that situation, but in retrospect, it's also just as much about God, because I don't know that we could have made it through that without Him.
