3 Contributorsif i could just stop the time, Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Make it stop, leave the streaks of red and orange

Where they are, a couple of miles in the sky

Now it's dark, five inches somewhere uptown

All these clothes don't keep me from feeling November

In the air, the way that her love did for me

So I wait, watch as the world spins around

[Chorus]

I wanna stand right here

And stop the time

Want the trains not to run

And the cars not to drive

Want the world to believe mе

When I say I can't breathe if I'm not hеrs

[Verse 2]

Call the shots, we're liberal with our second chances

All I want is to be wherever she is

All the months are ruthless in how they go by

Jeremy and I put out our final album

And I guess I thought she would have called by now

So I sat, midnight in the kitchen and cried

[Chorus]

I wanna stand right here

And stop the time

Want the leaves not to fall

And the sun not to rise

Want the world to believe me

When I say I can't breathe if I'm not hers

If I'm not hers

[Bridge]

I want everyone I love, to erase all the distance

I want my parents not to die, my brother home for Christmas

I want Jesse and Becca and I want Em and Daisy

I want Jeremy and Alex and Sloan and Mike and Macy

I want Gord to be one, Coop to always be six

All my friends in New York to stay 'cause that's where we live

I want all of my youth, every night that I drank

Pour a beer on my head, throwing up in the sink

Wearing jerseys on stage, the whole world at my feet

Ripping a cigarette in Paris with Michael, X and JT

I want the whole world to stop, I don't want anything to change

I want to stay this heartbroken if it means part of her stays

[Outro]

It means part of her stays, I'll stand here in the dark

Staring up at the sky, tears starting to fall

And I'll stop every car, everyone walking by

God the things I would do, if I could just stop the time

If I could just stop the time, mmm
