Stop the world
Take a picture
Try to capture
To ensure this moment lasts
We're still in it, but
In a minute -
That's the limit -
And this present will be past
So here we are
Where the world has come together
So here she will be
In this picture, forever
DIANE {NICK}
Look at this: five hundred and forty million years ago, the continents of the world crashed together right here;
and two hundred million years ago, they separated again, moving apart from each other. {Huh.}
But, a little part of them was left behind.
I should move! You're missing all the scenery!
NICK
No, no! Stay where you are.
DIANE
Really?
NICK
Really. It's perfect.
DIANE
Stop the world
Seize the moment
But the minute he goes you're alone, and it's through
Pinch yourself
Tell yourself:
"You're just dreaming, that means he'll forget about you"
But here we are
Where the continents once crashed together
Before they went their separate ways forever, so
Stop the world
NICK
Stop the world

Stop the world
BOTH {COMPANY}
From spinning 'round {Ahhhh}
I wanna look out
Overlooking something {Ahhhh}
Worth taking the time
to stop flying by {And look down}
And look down. {Stop the world}
Stopping to stare, {And look 'round}
And look 'round. {Stop the world}
Just tell them, {Ahhhh} "now,"
and look down
Take a picture
Of the scenery
Of a lookout
Of a moment
Which is over
Of the ocean
Of the river
Of the trees
Stop the world
