How Do You Stop Lyrics
Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet,
But what about your heart?
Fame and fortune can’t hold you tight
In the late, late hours of the night.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
You think love will wait
So you don’t hold on
And then it’s gone.
You’ve had success—
Lots of fancy friends.
You’ve tasted the good life;
You thought it would never end.
One day you’re too young,
Then you’re in your prime,
Then you’re looking back
At the hands of time.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
You think love will wait
So you don’t hold on
And then it’s gone.
How do you stop a runaway train?
How do you stop the driving rain?
How do you stop the ripening corn?
How do you stop a baby being born?
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
How do you stop?
You’re lost if you hesitate...
How do you stop
Love from slipping away?
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet,
But what about your heart?
Fame and fortune can’t hold you tight
In the late, late hours of the night.
Before it’s too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
You think love will wait
So you don’t hold on
And then it’s gone.
Lots of fancy friends.
You’ve tasted the good life;
You thought it would never end.
One day you’re too young,
Then you’re in your prime,
Then you’re looking back
At the hands of time.
Before it’s too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
You think love will wait
So you don’t hold on
And then it’s gone.
How do you stop the driving rain?
How do you stop the ripening corn?
How do you stop a baby being born?
Before it’s too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate.
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?
How do you stop?
You’re lost if you hesitate...
How do you stop
Love from slipping away?
How do you stop
Before it’s too late?

I love this song and will always associate it with passionately making out with a girl in my car, not quite sure either of us were, how far we wanted to go, but not quite able to stop either. The song is about that, but also about how fleeting the moments of our life really are. We'd all love to save certain moments in amber, but they all slip away.
