When The Earth Stopped Turning

[Verse 1]
I remember what you said
I remember every word
I remember when the earth stopped turning
We were sitting on the bed
And the clock was ticking louder
There's the overwhelming smell of powder in the air
Everything is skewed
Everything is blurred
I remember every word

[Verse 2]
I remember how we roared
Laughed so hard we almost cried
Laughed so long it felt the earth stop turning
We were never ever bored
And you made us feel amazing
We were blazing through our lives like comets in the sky
Now that you're not here
Everything's awry

[Chorus]
"The world is good," you said
"Enjoy its highs," you said
"The summer flies," you said
"So make a parade
Of every moment
Now throw away your hate
And focus on what's great instead
I'm dying so there's no time for debate"
You said

[Verse 3]
I remember how you smiled
You were trying not to smile
Then you smiled and the earth stopped turning
All the images are filed
All the images keep flicking
Why are all of us so slow at picking up our cues?
Nothing left to win
Nothing more to lose

[Chorus]
"The world is good," she said
"Enjoy its shit," she said
"'Cause this is it," she said
"So make a parade
Of every moment
Now pull up to the curb
The sign Do not disturb's ahead
The truth is that you made my life superb"
She said

[Coda]
On a Sunday night in May
In a very quiet way
I remember how the earth stopped turning
Turning
Turning
Turning
