Moving forward using all my breath 
Making love to you was never second best 
I saw the world crashing all around your face 
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you 
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
I'll stop the world and melt with you 

(We should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate 
(We should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace 
(We should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(We should see) [bad word] a race that's long gone by 

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 

The future's open wide 

I'll stop the world and melt with you 
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm 
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm 
hmmm hmmm hmmm 
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm 

I'll stop the world and melt with you 
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 

I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you) 
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)
