Standing Still Lyrics

If I measured you with a telescope

Would you be at apogee

If I bent your light through a prism's slope

Are you moving away from me

I don't see you standing still

If your song's played through an oscilloscope

Would your notes be out of key

Split your beam through a slit machine

To collapse your probability

I don't see you standing still

But the rest of us will

Standing still

Because it's all downhill

When you're standing still

Standing still, we're quantum tangled, just to simplify

And I will, still be stuck in gravity as you streak by

If I messaged you through a polygraph, would it tell me that you're true

If I put your heart through the same device, would it indicate we're through

I don't see you standing still

All these ripples travel out through time from all the things you do

Apart from you, like a particle, but I'm still a part of you

I don't see you standing still

But the rest of us will

Standing still

Because it's all downhill

When you're standing still
