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, 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
Movin apart from each other (Huh)
But, a little part of them was left behind
I should move, you're missin' 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 dreamin', 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 spinnin' 'round
I wanna look out, overlooking something worth taking the time
To stop flying by (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
