Make it stop, leave the streaks of red and orange
Where they are, a couple of miles in the sky
Now it's dark, five inches somewhere uptown
All these clothes don't keep me from feeling November
In the air, the way that her love did for me
So I wait, 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 have called by now
So I sat, midnight in the kitchen and cried

I wanna stand right here
And stop the time
Want at least night 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

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 Macy
I want Gord 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 of my youth, every night that I drank
Pour a beer on my head, throwing up in the sink
Wearing jerseys on stage, the whole world at my feet
Ripping a cigarette in Paris with Michael, X and JT
I want the whole world to stop, I don't want anything to change
I want to stay this heartbroken if it means part of her stays

It means part of her stays, I'll stand here in the dark
Staring up at the sky, tears starting to fall
And 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, mmm
