Stop The World

[Nick]

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

[Diane]

Look at this, five hundred and forty million years ago

The continents of the world crashed together right here

And two hundred million years ago

They separated again, moving apart from each other

[Nick]

Huh

[Diane]

But, a little part of them was left behind

I should move! You're missing all the scenery!

[Nick]

No, no, no! Stay where you are

[Diane]

Really?

[Nick]

Really, it's perfect

[Diane]

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

[Nick]

Stop the world

[Diane]

Stop the world

[Nick]

Stop the world

[Diane]

Stop the world

[Diane, Nick & Company]

From spinning 'round

I wanna look out

Overlooking something

Worth taking the time

To stop flying by (and look down)

And look down (stop the world)

Stop being scared (and look 'round)

And look 'round (stop the world)

Just tell him 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
