​stop the carousel Lyrics by Matt Howard

2024

[Verse 1]
They say you look just like your mama
But you got an attitude that mirrors mine
Don't wanna be the cause of drama
But I'm freaking out inside
I'm fine, I lied
Just a little bit
Watching you get older
Yeah, I feel like you just grew up overnight
And I wish things would happen slower
Where did the time?
Where did the time go?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a way to take the batteries out the clock?
Is there a way to make all the stars and planets stop?
[Chorus]
Either way
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna stay 'til nothing's left
Either way
I'm gonna hold you
'Til I'm drawing my last breath
Wish I could freeze time or hit rewind
Stop the carousel
Either way
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you 'til the end
[Verse 2]
You're becoming your own person
But it's crazy how I see myself in you
'Cause all I wanted was to grow up
Now I'm sitting here like "Stop, hold on, slow down
Just a little bit"
I bleed, it's so sweet
The way you dance
Carefree, always be your big kiss fan
Just wanna stay like this
But you change so quick
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a way to take the batteries out the clock?
Is there a way to make all the stars and planets stop?
[Chorus]
Either way
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna stay 'til nothing's left
Either way
I'm gonna hold you
'Til I'm drawing my last breath
Wish I could freeze time or hit rewind
Stop the carousel
Either way
I’m gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you 'til the end
[Verse 3]
You're gonna move out
And I'm gonna stay here
You're gonna get married
And I'm gonna cry
You're gonna have children
I'm gonna have gray hair
Can't keep you from changing
But I'm gonna try
But here in this moment
I could just hold it
You don't have to grow up
At least for a time
And I know it's hopeless
To want this forever
But I hope you know this:
You'll always be mine
[Chorus]
Either way
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna stay 'til nothing's left (Stay 'til nothing's left)
Either way
I'm gonna hold you
'Til I'm drawing my last breath (Drawing my last breath)
Wish I could freeze time or hit rewind
Stop the carousel
Either way
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you 'til the end
