Stop the World Lyrics
I don't know why, I don't know why
I'm so afraid
I don't know how, I don't know how
To fix the pain
We're living a lie, living a lie
This needs to change
We're out of time, we're out of time
And it's still the same
We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow
But I'd stop the world
If it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be alone
I'm hearing the noise, hearing the noise
From all around
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge
Of breaking down
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Let's find a ride and ditch this town
To keep it alive, keep it alive
Don't make a sound
We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow
But I'd stop the world
If it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be
I never wanna take that final look
I'll turn another page
Won't close the book
We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow
But I'd stop the world
If it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be alone
I'm so afraid
I don't know how, I don't know how
To fix the pain
We're living a lie, living a lie
This needs to change
We're out of time, we're out of time
And it's still the same
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow
But I'd stop the world
If it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be alone
From all around
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge
Of breaking down
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Let's find a ride and ditch this town
To keep it alive, keep it alive
Don't make a sound
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow
But I'd stop the world
If it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be
I'll turn another page
Won't close the book
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow
But I'd stop the world
If it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be alone

So I'm pretty sure this song is about Alex Noyes from Honor Society
Honor Society has a song called "Nobody Has to Know" and Demi says that the guy in the song told her this.
They have a song called "Don't Close the Book" and in it they say "We'll meet up on another page, don't close the book". Basically the same lyric that Demi says in the bridge.
There are rumors all over the internet about them dating, and it's already confirmed that they atleast are friends and know each other. It only makes sense.
Either way, this is a GREAT song. My favorite on the album. <3
A secret relationship that no one approves of; she won't give up hope that someday they'll be free to be together without a care, and wishes she could stop time to let the be for a little while.
this song gives off a perfect vibe i love it
DEMI LOVATO AND NICK JONAS MAKE FUCKING AMAZING SONGS. THE END, OKAY.
this is an awesome song. it sounds kind of like a miley cyrus song for some weird reason that i cant explain. but anyway, when i heard the preview i first thought it was about global warming or something. haha. until she said "we can't stop this girl." but it's another great song from demi. i love this new album!
would you consider this a heartbreak song or a love song or both?
I agree with QuietIsTheNewLoud. Well said. And bornbackwards got the main idea. I went to her concert and she said this song was like, "forbidden love," which was an almost perfect way to phrase it. She even made a reference to Romeo and Juliet and how she doesn't mean to fall in love this person because she knows that nobody approves of it, but she believes that they will stay together.
My interpretion is : There's a secret relationship between a boy & a girl. They're hiding it from the world I guess to avoid all the judgements & all the gossip. They just wish that they could make the world come to a pause where It's just them two to be in love & no one can know what's goiing on because they're frozen in time. & one of them would stop the people in the world who would redicule & make their relationship suffer so that they can just live their life together, in love & nothing or no one to stop them. Nick & Demi , great song.
Well said, QuietIsTheNewLoud, well said.
Its funny how it goes "you said no one needs to know" & nick jonas has been known to keep his relationships "quiet" lol still this song is awesome. Any nick & demi song is awesome xD
I love this song. I agree with most. She was in a relationship that no one approved of. "He said no body has to know give us time to grow, and take it slow."He's saying why give them a reason to try to break us up. Lets be together anyway and take it as slow as we want with no pressure. "But I'd stop the world, if it finally lets us be alone." She'd do anything to just have time with him, with no one trying to tell her what to do with him. To love with no limit.
