Adrian Borland - I Can't Stop The World lyrics

You know the summer's gone When the wind hits your face And you feel you don't belong In such a god-forsaken place You try to beat the cold But the world won't be controlled And the time rushes on And the future's yesterday Though you'll never see twenty-three again The truth is cruel but plain It's a world you can't contain And the sky's matt black tonight But the day will paint it blue And the sun will scale the heights But it won't shine down on you And if I could stop the world I would Or if I could freeze the time where it stood But there's nothing I can do to stay with you When all you've held high Is lowered like a flag You can't salute and every dream you've had is gone It's a world that's moving on When the signs are clear to see Will you look the other way Will it bring you to your knees Will you feel the need to pray? Whatever you believe in It's a world you'll be leaving
