Time Stops
[Verse 1: EDWARD]
Time stops when suddenly you see her
Time stops, and what you thought you knew
Changes and life beyond this moment
Is better, bigger
[Verse 2: EDWARD]
Time stops, but still your heart is beating
Time stops, though you don't take a breath
She's there and all you ever wanted
Is nearer, clearer
[Chorus: EDWARD]
I used to think the world was small,
Now I don't think that way at all
[Verse 3: EDWARD]
Time stops when dreams come true before you
Time stops when fantasy is real
I knew this moment was expected
But this good, who could?
[Verse 4: SANDRA]
That boy is staring and I feel a chill, I don't know why
That boy is staring and the world is still,
Not tumbling by
There's no one talking, but I can hear a thousand voices
What's going on inside me?
[Verse 5: SANDRA]
That boy is staring, is it me he sees?
I can't be sure, if is he staring, should I try to please
Or be demure?
My hand is trembling, but in this moment nothing scares me
What's going on?
[Chorus: SANDRA]
Edward: I used to see what lies ahead
Sandra: I thought my life might be a bore
Edward: Now I just see this girl instead
Sandra: Surely I'm bound for something more
[Verse 6: EDWARD & SANDRA]
Time stops and troubles are abandoned
Time stops the minute she/he arrives
I've seen the future in this instant
Subversive, sublime
[Bridge: EDWARD & SANDRA]
I live forever in this moment
If I could stop
Edward: Stop time
[Outro: SANDRA]
That boy is staring and I feel a chill
I don't know why
