Going too fast
To let things last
Scared they're gonna disappoint me
The merry-go-round has left the ground
Nothing from the past
Can haunt me

But when I push away (deep feelings)
It's my own emotional life I was feeling
You're coming into view
(Who's ready?)
Hold my hand real tight because I'm not too steady

Stop the world
I want you on it
We're going too fast
To feel a thing
If you hadn't tried
So hard to reach me
I'd have missed all of this

Stop the world
I want you on it
We're running too fast
To let you in
If I closed my eyes
For one more minute
I'd have missed all of this
This is a whole different space
Stop the world
I want you on it
Stop the world

Thought I was fine
Knew all my lines
I didn't have to try to get them
I just couldn't face an empty space
Nothing had to come from inside
But once you got through
I felt it
Every kind of worry in my heart just melted
Something very real was missing
I could be alive instead of just existing

Stop the world
I want you on it
We're going too fast
To feel a thing
If you hadn't tried
So hard to reach me
I'd have missed all of this

Stop the world
I want you on it
We're running too fast
To let you in
If I closed my eyes
For one more minute
I'd have missed all of this
This is a whole different space
Spin baby spin
I know where you've been
Under my skin
This is real, I'm all there
I never knew
What love could do
And then there was you
I was here, but you were there

Stop the world
I want you on it
We're going too fast
To feel a thing
If you hadn't tried
So hard to reach me
I'd have missed all of this

Stop the world
I want you on it
We're running too fast
To let you in
If I closed my eyes
For one more minute
I'd have missed all of this
This is a whole different space
Stop the world
I want you on it
Can feel a thing
I need you in it
Stop the world
