Stop the World
Stop the world, take a picture
Try to capture
To ensure this moment lasts
We're still in it, but
In a minute, that's the limit
And this present will be past
So here we are
Where the world has come together
So here, she'll be
In this picture forever
Look at this "540 million years ago
The continents of the world crashed together right here
And 200 million years ago, they separated again
Moving apart from each other (huh)
But, a little part of them was left behind"
I should move, you're missing all the scenery
(No! No! No! Stay where you are)
Really? (Really, it's perfect)
Stop the world, seize the moment
But the minute he goes you're alone, and it's through
Pinch yourself, tell yourself
"You're just dreaming, that means he'll forget about you"
But here we are
Where the continents once crashed together
Before they went their separate ways forever, so
Stop the world (stop the world)
Stop the world (stop the world)
Stop the world
From spinning 'round
I wanna look out (ahh)
Overlooking something
Worth taking the time to stop flying by (ahh)
(And look down) and look down
(Stop the world) stopping to stare
(And look 'round) and look 'round
(Stop the world) just tell them now!
And look down
Take a picture of the scenery
Of a lookout, of a moment
Which is over of the ocean
Of the river, of the trees
Stop the world
Please
Try to capture
To ensure this moment lasts
We're still in it, but
In a minute, that's the limit
And this present will be past
So here we are
Where the world has come together
So here, she'll be
In this picture forever
Look at this "540 million years ago
The continents of the world crashed together right here
And 200 million years ago, they separated again
Moving apart from each other (huh)
But, a little part of them was left behind"

(No! No! No! Stay where you are)
Really? (Really, it's perfect)

Pinch yourself, tell yourself
"You're just dreaming, that means he'll forget about you"

Where the continents once crashed together
Before they went their separate ways forever, so
Stop the world (stop the world)
Stop the world (stop the world)
Stop the world
From spinning 'round
I wanna look out (ahh)

Worth taking the time to stop flying by (ahh)
(And look down) and look down

And look down
Take a picture of the scenery
Of a lookout, of a moment
Which is over of the ocean
Of the river, of the trees
Stop the world
Please
