[Verse 1]
Find someone you 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
All the things that you've wanted within all the time
[Chorus]
You say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
You say stop
Stop all this running
Running to stay in one place
[Verse 2]
Oh, well I know I was wrong
Selfish, I learned to let you go on
Just couldn't see what your love meant to me
'Til it was gone and all hope has faded away
I could beg, I could pray
That you'd come back one day
[Chorus]
But you say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
You say stop
Stop all the running
Running to stay in one place
Spins away, and away
[Verse 3]
But next time I'll know
There's no time to waste
If there is a next time
I will stand up and say
[Chorus]
I'll say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
I said stop
I'm only beginning
To understand how quickly
Time slips away
Just say stop
Time slips away
[Outro]
Away
Fly away
Slips away
Away
