Stop For A Minute Lyrics

Another move, another town

My life turned upside down again

A new school with no friends

I'll find my place and start again

Put my pictures on different walls

It goes on and on

Can I sit still for just a minute?

Can we stop the world from spinning

Can you answer when I call your name

I'm tryna remember your face

Before you go over the horizon

It goes on and on and on and on

The little things like how the spoons are on the right now

I can't seem to remember just how to get home

But I can't complain, I won't, cause they say that you're a hero

Can someone tell me how to rid this ache in my bones

There's a stranger in my house, oh that looks a lot like me

But I know he'll be gone when we put up the Christmas tree

It'll be back to just us two

And I'll play my mama's little man

And you oughta know how much we've missed you and ooohh

We'll be counting sunrises until you come back again

Your photo sits in every frame

Mum pours a glass to numb the pain again

And as a tear rolls down her cheek

Then she'll cry herself to sleep

All she waits for is your call

It goes on and on and on and on

The little things like how the spoons are on the right now

I can't seem to remember just how to get home

But I can't complain, I won't, cause they say that you're a hero

Can someone tell me how to rid this ache in my bones

There's a stranger in my house, oh that looks a lot like me

But I know he'll be gone when we put up the Christmas tree

It'll be back to just us two

And I'll play my mama's little man

And you oughtta know how much we've missed you and ooohh

We'll be counting sunrises until you come back again

Did you ever think to be a book writer, a bus driver

A person that fixes sinks

You could work at home from 9 to 5, a big truck and drive

A barman mixing drinks

We'd be in the front yard throwing ball

With my height marked on the kitchen wall

In the pool screaming cannonball

But you're gone

A new house that you haven't been

A baby sister that you haven't seen

You've never been to just one game

Heard the crowd chanting my name

As I hit my first home run

Oh it goes on and on and on and on

There's a stranger in my house, oh that looks a lot like me

But I know he'll be gone when we put up the Christmas tree

And it'll be back to just us three

And I'll play my mama's little man

And you oughtta know how much we've missed you and ooohh

We'll be counting sunrises until you come back again

Oh why've you been gone so long

Please dad come back again
