Kurt Nilsen - Stop The Time lyrics

rate me

If I could stop the time when I needed a break<br />

Get off the train and let it go it's way<br />

I wouldn't have known how to thank you<br />

<br />

I've got a girl I love, three kids and a house<br />

Bills to my neck, working hours at night<br />

I've got friends I never get to see no more<br />

A house to paint, a gate and a door<br />

Flowers to grow, a road to clean<br />

A lawn to cut, it's pretty steep<br />

I can't go nowhere without my job<br />

My telephone's ringing all day long<br />

<br />

And if I could stop the time when I needed a break<br />

Get off the train and let it go it's way<br />

I wouldn't know how to thank you<br />

If I could stop the time, let it all fly away<br />

Take a long, deep breath and stay for a day<br />

I wouldn't know what to say<br />

But maybe I wouldn't feel this way<br />

<br />

Became a dad to a girl at the age eighteen<br />

And ever since then she's motivated me<br />

I write songs for a living and I play the guitar<br />

At night in those clubs go a little too far<br />

And my baby keeps waiting while I'm away<br />

Anxious and sad 'cause she wants me to stay<br />

I've got a job that requires a lot of me<br />

Pulled in every direction, but so is she<br />

<br />

If I could stop the time when I needed a break<br />

Get off the train and let it go it's way<br />

I wouldn't know how to thank you<br />

If I could stop the time, let it all fly by<br />

Take a deep, long breath and stay for a while<br />

I wouldn't know what to say<br />

And maybe I wouldn't feel this way<br />

<br />

I ain't complaining<br />

I'm just telling how things are<br />

I'm way over my head here<br />

I'm a worn out man who doesn't know where to start<br />

So I turn to you<br />

<br />

If I could stop the time when I needed a break<br />

Get off the train and let it go it's way<br />

I wouldn't have known how to thank you<br />

If I could stop the time, let it all fly by<br />

Take a deep, long breath and stay for a while<br />

I wouldn't know what to say<br />

But maybe I wouldn't feel this way<br />

<br />

If I could stop the time when I needed a break<br />

Get off the train and let it go it's way<br />

I wouldn't know how to thank you<br />

If I could stop the time, let it fly it's way<br />

Take a long, deep breath and stay for a day<br />

I wouldn't know what to say<br />

But maybe I wouldn't feel this way
