... Time Stands Still Songtext
von 22 Brides

You push the chair back from the table
The light beside you burning
The summer night is closing in
The heavens keep on turning
This is where we make our home
Sometimes impossible equation
You and I and our armies seeing red
With minimum persuasion
But after all is said and done
In our battle of the wills
There is no logic to surrender
And time stands still
I got my mother′s Irish temper
You got your daddy's vicious streak
So the furniture is slowly disappearing
In our power struggle of the week
But when the truce is made It is a fire hard to kill
I lie with you in darkness
And time stands still
Time stands still for a minute like inside a shell
And here within it life is really not so bad
Life is really not so bad
So we make the choice each day
Sometimes the best we can do
Fall short of where we want it
Like a bandaid on a gunshot wound
And when I think I′ve had enough
Maybe the struggle is the thrill
You bring the peace my soul's been missing
And time stands still
Time stands still for a minute like inside a shell
And here within it life is really not so bad
Life is really not so bad
