Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast, so smart
The world at your feet
But what about your heart?
Fame and power can't hold you tight
In the later hours of the night

How do you stop? (how do you stop?)
Tell me, before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop? (how do you stop?)
Tell me, before it's too late?
You think love will wait
You don't hold on
And then it's gone

And then it's gone

You've had some success
A new group of friends
You called it the good life
You thought it would never, never end
One minute you're too young, then you're in your prime
Then you're looking back
Through the hands of time

How do you stop? (how do you stop?)
Tell me, before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate, tell me
How do you stop? (how do you stop?)
Tell me, before it's too late?
You don't hold on
And then it's gone

How do you stop, a runaway train?
How do you stop, the pouring, pouring of rain?
How do you stop the night turning to day?
How do you stop the love from slipping away?
How do you stop from believing?
How do you stop the lovers from deceiving?
How do you stop the tide from coming in?
How do you stop the cold, cold wind?

(How do you stop?)
Hey, tell me, before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate (hesitate)

Hey, how do you stop
Runaway train
How do you stop
Pouring, pouring of rain
How do you stop
A heart with wings
How do you stop
The innocent things?
How do you stop
Before it's too late
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate

How, how do you stop
Before it's too late
It's your life
