[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
[Verse 2]
(You should know better)
Dream of better lives
The kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage
To save this human's race
(You should see why)
Never comprehending
The race had long gone by
[Chorus]
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
(I'll stop the world)
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
You might also like

But it's getting better all the time

The future's open wide
