Sitting on the car
Staring at the stars
Leaning on your shoulder
I wanna cry until I laugh, and laugh until I cry
Don't wanna let a single moment of you pass me by
If only I could freeze the frame
You know that I would stay right here for good
I, I wanna stop the clocks tonight
I, I wanna tear the hands right off
I, I wanna stop the world from turning
And stay right here for good
I, I hope the sun forgets to rise
I, I, I won't ever leave your side
I, I wanna stop the clocks tonight
And stay right here for good
I'd rather spend my life
Motionless with you
Than dancing with another, ooh, oh
I wanna cry until I laugh, and laugh until I cry
Don't wanna let a single moment of you pass me by
If only I could freeze the frame
You know that I would stay right here for good
I, I wanna stop the clocks tonight
I, I wanna tear the hands right off
I, I wanna stop the world from turning
And stay right here for good
I, I hope the sun forgets to rise
I, I, I won't ever leave your side
I, I wanna stop the clocks tonight
And stay right here for good
Ooh, oh
For good
Stay, yeah
I, I wanna stop the clocks tonight
I, I wanna tear the hands right off
I, I wanna stop the world from turning
And stay right here for good
I, I hope the sun forgets to rise
I, I, I won't ever leave your side
I, I wanna stop the clocks tonight (tonight)
And stay right here for good (stay, stay, yeah)
I, I wanna stop the clocks tonight
I, I wanna tear the hands right off
I, I wanna stop the world from turning
Oh-ooh
