lyrics

Stopping Time

We pry ourselves from our embrace
And then pretend there's
Something else worth doing.
It's such a lie.

What's “6:00” mean anyway?
And whose idea was it
to start the days
With mornings?!

CHORUS

'Cause you're the only sunrise
That I want to see.
Feel the warmth of your love
Rising up inside of me.

My sigh will be the birdsong
And my body bring the rain.
And then we'll fall asleep
In each other's arms again.

VERSE

We slave away in the heat all day
And then pretend it
Makes our bread worth eating.
It's such a lie.

'Cause what does “work”
mean anyway?
And whose idea was it
Instead of play?

CHORUS

'Cause you're the only afternoon
That I want to see.
Feel the heat of your love
Just pouring down on me!

My breath will be a cool breeze
Our joy, the bread and wine.
And we will be like children once again.
Lost in time.

BRIDGE

All those years passed away
As if one single day
No, I can never give you
back the time.
But I can stop pretending
There's some perfect tomorrow.
And turn this loving you
into forever.

VERSE

We taste the fruit of forbidden trees
And we pretend some god needs
Toil and bleeding.
It's all a lie.

'Cause you're the only salvation
That I want to see.
And no more lies.

My arms will be the shelter from
What e're they call our crime.
And we will be the gods
Yes, we will be the gods
We will be the gods
Stopping time.

For Marcelo, Love Holly
