lyrics

“Pause”
By J. J. M. Nowell

In my head
I’ve said the same things again and again.
You must wait,
Would you cry, would you scream, would you yell, would you shout, would you break?
I would.

The sand was sitting still.
And never asked for more.
I stayed standing there.
Left waiting upon the shore.

And of all the things
I used to do,
I stopped even though
I knew, I knew, I knew.

Stop and start.
Crave this art.
But my wait is back and I hate that.
Would you weep? Would creep? Would leave? Would you cease?
I would, I would,
I would.
Trapped inside.
The wait of time.
But my wait is back and I hate that.
Would you stay? Would you lay? Would you crave?
I would, I would,
I would.

All these dreams
Have no ends to their means.
You must wait,
Would you plead? Would you ask? Would you wish? Would you beg? Would you pray?
I would.


The strand was sitting still.
And never asked for.
I stayed standing there.
Left waiting upon the shore.

And of all the things
I used to do,
I stopped even though
I knew, I knew, I knew.

Stop and start.
Crave this art.
But my wait is back and I hate that.
Would you weep? Would creep? Would leave? Would you cease?
I would, I would,
I would.
Trapped inside.
The wait of time.
But my wait is back and I hate that.
Would you stay? Would you lay? Would you crave?
I would, I would,
I would.

And in time
I’ll pause for what is mine.
I must wait.
For scattered thoughts and wants to coalesce and condensate.
I wish they would.

The sun was sitting still.
And never asked for more.
I stayed standing there.
Left waiting upon the shore.

And of all the things
I used to do,
I stopped even though
I knew, I knew, I knew.

Stop and start.
Crave this art.
But my wait is back and I hate that.
Would you weep? Would creep? Would leave? Would you cease?
I would, I would,
I would.
Trapped inside.
The wait of time.
But my wait is back and I hate that.
Would you stay? Would you lay? Would you create?
I would, I would,
I wish I would.

I know I talk too much.
I know I talk too much.
I’ll just talk to myself.
Because I talk too much.
I know I talk too much.
I know I talk too much.
I’ll just talk to myself.
Because I talk too much.

I talk too much.
I talk too much.
I’ll just talk to myself.
Because I talk too much.
