Too long without a tick
I look to check, looks like the clock's on the fritz
Ev'ry clock, laptop to phone has the glitch
Even my console clocks have frozen, poor Switch
No big deal, this needs a fix
Outside my expertise, a call's needed quick
No-one answers, what to do 'bout this?
Then a glance out the window answers it

Time stands still
Folks walking past but their walk cycle has ground right down
Time stands still
See more of the people who are stuck right where they are right now
Time stands still

Zero motion, that's kind of a problem
Why was I spared this? I'd prefer the option
Of being frozen the same
So I won't become insane
Time stands still

Online feed's come to a stop
Hell pit died, break from that's okay now
Gonna cruise for a little bit 'round
Check if I am the one man
Who's not on pause, seems they're all slowin' right down
No-one's cracked from a prank set-up now
Throw away that theory, toss it right out

Time stands still
Like Father Time stabbed the pause button way too hard right now
Time stands still
So hard with his fingers that the batteries popped and fell down

Seems this moment will last a bit longer
Hate when time's racing, but this ain't a saunter
I didn't wish "make this moment last longer"
Had no deadlines, just reading some blogger
Was wasting the day away
And now that waste's here to stay
Time stands still
Time stands still

Some would just go mad, do whatever they want to do now
But those kinds of people forget about what comes back around
Time stands still

I hope this won't last, just me who's older
No-one growing up, huge weight on my shoulders
Hope it's only a blip, nothing longer
Shortened duration would be what I wanted
From this sci-fi trope, okay
A downer end would be lame
Could someone out there press play?
