Stop

Find someone in love

Hold them so close

It's not close enough

Moment to moment time's slipping away

While you're looking for something you're hoping to find

Are the things that you wanted within all the time

You say stop

Stop the world spinning

Faster and faster

We're losing our way

You say stop

Stop all this running

Wanting to stay in one place

Oh I know I was wrong

Selfish am I to let you go on

Just couldn't see what your love meant to me

Till it was gone and all hope has faded away

I could beg I could pray

That you'd come back one day

But you say stop

Stop the world spinning

Faster and faster

We're losing our way

You say stop

Stop all the running

Wanting to stay in one place

Next time I know

There's no time to waste

If there is a next time

I will stand up and say

I say stop

Stop the world spinning

Faster and faster

We're losing our way

I said stop

I'm only beginning to understand half the way

Time slips away

You say stop

Time slips away

Away
