Stop The World
Maxwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like the moment has come and I'm gonna get you girl
The shadows are forming across your parts the vision looks absurd
No one around to interrupt the feelings, you stir babe
[Chorus]
Imagine if it was, if this was you, if this was I
So perfectly designed to be here all night
The world stops for me, the world stops for me
And then extraordinary, ordinary things
Things I can't explain, with subtext, the world stops for me
And girl you know just what I mean, I need you girl
Sing me a song, sing it soft, sing it long, girl stop my world, oh
[Chorus]
Someone stop the world, stop it, stop it, stop
Someone, someone stop the world, stop the world
We about to stop the world tonight
We're about to love we ain't got no worries, no battles
I'm gonna be with my girl tonight
We about to stop the world, stop the world, stop the world
We about to stop the world tonight
We're about to love we ain't got no worries, no battles
You are my own, yeah
We about to stop the world tonight
Make yourself at home
I'm gonna be with my girl tonight
And lay here all night long
We about to stop the world tonight
Oh yeah
In Maxwell's song "Stop The World," the artist pleads for the world to stop so he can seemingly have uninterrupted time with his lover. He expresses that the moment has come for him to be with his girl and the shadows are forming across her parts. The line "no one around to interrupt the feelings you stir babe" suggests a sense of privacy and intimacy between the two. Maxwell imagines a world where it's just the two of them, one designed to be there all night, and the world raging outside has no effect on them. The chorus sings of how the world stops for him when he's with her, and how ordinary things become extraordinary in her presence. The artist pleads again for someone to stop the world, repeating it multiple times before ending with the line "we're about to stop the world tonight."

Someone stop the world, yeah
I wish the whole world would come to a halt for a moment
Seems like the moment has come and I'm gonna get you girl
It feels like the perfect time to be with you and I'm so excited
The shadows are forming across your parts the vision looks absurd
The way the light is hitting you makes you look otherworldly and beautiful
No one around to interrupt the feelings, you stir babe
There's nobody here to distract us from the emotions we're feeling right now, my love
Imagine if it was, if this was you, if this was I
Close your eyes and think about how perfect this moment would be for both of us
So perfectly designed to be here all night
Everything about this moment feels like fate and we were meant to be together all night
Let the world rage outside, cause when I'm here with you
It doesn't matter what's going on outside because my world stops when I'm with you
The world stops for me, the world stops for me
Being with you is so powerful that it feels like time stands still
And then extraordinary, ordinary things
Even the mundane things we do together become magical and special when we're in love
Things I can't explain, with subtext, the world stops for me
The feelings we share are so intense and mysterious that I can't even put them into words
And girl you know just what I mean, I need you girl
You understand me better than anyone and I can't live without you
Sing me a song, sing it soft, sing it long, girl stop my world, oh
Your voice is like music to my ears and it has the power to stop my world completely
Someone stop the world, stop it, stop it, stop
I'm so in love with you that I wish the world itself would stop turning
We about to stop the world tonight
Tonight is going to be so special that we'll feel like we've stopped time itself
We're about to love we ain't got no worries, no battles
We're going to be so lost in love that nothing else will matter
I'm gonna be with my girl tonight
I can't wait to spend the night with you and feel your love
Make yourself at home
I want you to feel comfortable and at ease with me
And lay here all night long
I want to hold you close and spend the entire night wrapped up in each other
We about to stop the world tonight
Tonight is the night we'll create memories that will last a lifetime
Oh yeah
I'm so excited to be with you tonight!
