7th (8th on international and US versions) track of Hopes & Fears.
Tim has said: “Can’t Stop Now is about the feeling that you’ve been standing still sort of moping after someone, and suddenly snapping out of it and feeling that you’ve a lot of catching up to do, and you can’t really hang aroun...
[Verse 1]
I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stood here dithering around
Though I know I said I'd wait around till you need me
I have to go, I hate to let you down
[Chorus]
But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm
Too tired to talk
[Verse 2]
I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stuck here withering away
Though I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say
[Chorus]
But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm
Too tired to talk
To no one back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now
And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now
For no one
[Outro]
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
