Song Title: Standing Still

Lyrics:

Standing still
By Callie Carlucci

I see your face among the rest
Out of crowded darkness
Guarded by all the others
Who are irrelevant

Your eyes framed with a pair of glasses
Your cigarette smoke falls into ashes
Most see a lost college kid
But you’re beautiful

Should I do over and say something
Should I admit that I miss you

But before I can make up my doubtful mind
She sprints across the finish line
She grabs your face with her hands
And your mouth with hers

Watching the way that you old her
Shoulder to shoulder
What I’d do to be right where she's standing
The world disappears without a trace
With your hand on my face
Wish I could have it back but I’m standing
Keep standing
Keep standing still

I recall the warm california night
We walked above the city lights
I didn't know you, you didn't know me
But I knew

You asked if you could have a kiss
The question left me speechless
But obliged by my beating heart
I accepted

Did you feel the same kind of magic as well
Or was it all in my head

But within the passion of your lips
On hers I know it’s all gone amiss
She’s got you enough to knock me down
But I’m standing

Watching the way that you old her
Shoulder to shoulder
What I’d do to be right where she's standing
The world disappears without a trace
With your hand on my face
Wish I could have it back but I’m standing
Keep standing
Keep standing still

I’ve spent so much time
Watching you running and running
And I’ve been too damn scared
To start chasing and chasing and chasing
No I’m too afraid of what you might say
If I catch you

...if I catch you…

So I’m standing
Keep standing still
So I’m standing
I’m stand….

Watching the way that you old her
Shoulder to shoulder
What I’d do to be right where she's standing
The world disappears without a trace
With your hand on my face
Wish I could have it back but I’m standing
Keep standing
Keep standing still
