lyrics
We are tuned to give away props
to those who give a way to us,
but when what we give away’s not
appreciated or reciprocated is when the giveaway stops.
But I'll suggest that we should give away stops,
like,
STOP. Here’s a stop
for you, wrapped and enclosed in a box
and no, I did not forget the ribbon,
it's for you to stop
and enjoy life for a minute,
STOP
and take a look at the sky on a cold night,
how for comfort
the sky wraps itself in a blanket of stars
STOP
and take a look at the colors displayed
on the wings of a butterfly
STOP, like, when you approach a
stoplight and you don't want to
stop, right? I know, I know
the light is not yet red,
but it’s almost though. I know,
I know you can still make it
if you just press the accelerator
a little more,
but STOP. Let the cars
in the other lanes pass you by, don't
be in such a hurry. I mean we should
give away stops like:
This should put a stop
to your pain. A stop like: Stop
trying to think about
what others might be thinking
that you're thinking
that they're thinking
that you're thinking
that they're thinking. . .
because just like this sentence,
it just complicates things, so
STOP and think about
the ones you love and the ones who love you,
STOP, and reflect on the legacies left
by the ones you lost
and say bye. Hop in your car,
drive away to a solitary place
where you can be alone with your thoughts
And never forget that your past memories
are kind of like your old parents
you just don't leave them,
but you revisit them over
and over, and over and over, and. . . so,
STOP! See, I hate to stop
as well but I must. And if I had an extra stop,
I would give it away. And now,
let’s just pretend that I have a stop
watch, because it will soon tell me
any moment from now
that I have to
STOP. And so, with the little time I've got
before my time is up, I'll say this: a lot
of things happen, even when you stop!
