Q: What if you could pause time?
This story came to life as a song - a musical collaboration between Quill Kickers and singer-songwriter CHIRPY. In weeks two and three, the song evolved to tell the complete story.
Read the lyrics and listen to the song below...
Chapter one: Stay
Pausing time, tell me I control the outcome
A holding space just for me to work it out
Summers and winters and beaches and forests and
Everything stays the same holding it for us and
My love and me we can freeze time together so our love will stay the same in every weather
Stay With Me, Please won’t you, Stay With Me
Stay With Me, Please won’t you, Stay With Me
Pausing time, I thought my Love would pause it with me
What a fool, to think you loved me like you said
Now I am stuck in this prison without you
How can I teach you to love me like I love you
Pausing, resuming and changing moves that I made
What can I do tell me now just to make you
Stay With Me, To make you, Stay With Me
Just to make you, Stay With Me, To make you, Stay With Me
Chapter two: Safe addiction
We always want what we can’t have
Till we reach that hopeless side
I know you’re bad for me but I
Can never really seem to hide
You find me everywhere I go
A safe addiction that I know, know
Chapter three: Pause
Pausing time I wish that I could know the outcome
To know that I would make it through on my own
Take me to that place where love is forever and
I’m not afraid to be lonely or a dreamer
A place where I'm happy and love is for growing and feelings matter and I can be free
Stay with me (to make you)
Stay with me (just to make you)
Stay with me (to make you)
Stay with me (why should I make you)
Stay with me (I don’t need you to)
Stay with me (I don’t need you to)
Stay with me (I don’t want you to)
Stay with me
'Pause' is now available on Spotify, Apple Music and all other music platforms.
