[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I don't know why, I don't know why I'm so afraid (So afraid)
I don't know how, I don't know how to fix the pain (Fix the pain)
We're living a lie, living a lie
This needs to change (Needs to change)
We're out of time, we're out of time, and it's still the same

[Chorus]
We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl from falling more in love with you
You said, "Nobody has to know
Give us time to grow, and take it slow"
But I'd stop the world (I'd stop the world), if it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be alone

[Verse 2]
I'm hearing the noise, hearing the noise from all around
(From all around)
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge of breaking down
(Of breaking down)
Like Bonnie and Clyde, let's find a ride, and ditch this town
To keep it alive, keep it alive, don't make a sound

[Chorus]
We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl from falling more in love with you
You said, "Nobody has to know
Give us time to grow, and take it slow"
But I'd stop the world (I'd stop the world), if it'd finally let us be alone
(Let us be alone) Let us be...

[Bridge]
I never wanna take that final look
I'll turn another page
Won't close the book

[Chorus]
We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl from falling more in love with you
You said, "Nobody has to know
Give us time to grow, and take it slow"
But I'd stop the world (I'd stop the world), if it'd finally let us be alone

[Outro]
Let us be alone
Let us be alone (Let us be alone)
Let us be alone
