if i could just stop the time,

Make it stop

Leave the streaks of red and orange where they are

A couple miles in the sky

Now it's dark

At five inches somewhere up top

All these clothes don't keep me from feeling November in the air

The way that her love did for me

So I wait

And watch as the world spins around

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 me

When I say

I can't breathe if I'm not hers

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've called by now

So I sat

At midnight in the kitchen and cried

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

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 Macie

I want Court 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 the mile

Every night that I drink

Pour a beer on my head

Throwing up in the sink

Wearing jerseys on stage

Going around in my V

Whipping a cigarette in Paris

With Michael X and JT

I want the whole world to stop

I don't want anything to change

I wanna stay this heartbroken if it means part of her stays

If it means part of her stays

I'll stand here in the dark

Staring up at the sky

Tears flooding the phone

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

Mm-mm-mm
