Disclaimer: When pigs fly then perhaps I will own something important.
We were always on the move. We never stayed in the same place for long. Sometimes we would just be strolling around a city. Other times we would be running, panting trying to reach safety. Some peaceful days we would just lie on the grass and talk about everything, well everything but the war. I hated the look on your face whenever you were reminded of the war. I saw your blue eyes well up with tears when you thought of your mother, when you saw the scar on my face after I told you how I got it, and when you looked at that 12 year old boy who was the world's last hope.
'Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace'
Those peaceful days when we could sneak away from the others, they were the days I liked best. Sometimes we would slip into the nearest village and I would show you that we were making a difference in these people's lives, making them better. I showed you how we were helping them, you and I, polar opposites, were working together to make the world a better place.
'I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you'
I am constantly amazed by your ability to hope. Your ability to dream about better lives for everyone. Actually it was your hope that gave me mine. I placed all of my hope in you. I figured as long as you continued to hope, then I still had something to hope for as well. Inspired by your hope I began fighting, fighting to save the world.
'(You should know better)
Dream of better lives the king which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(You should see why)
What I'm comprehending a race long gone by'
I've changed, you know, since first we met. I've become a much better person. At first I was angry and selfish. I know that you can see the differences. Even though for the most part I'm still the same. I'm still arrogant and prideful and angry, but for different reasons. I'm arrogant because I know what I am about. Prideful because I know that I'm helping the world. Angry with my father for hurting the world. Angry because I can't save everybody. Angry because no matter how much I do it never seems like it's enough.
Sometimes when I'm angry I begin to revert back to my old ways. Back to the days when I couldn't control my temper, but then you touch my arm or give me a look and my temper fizzles. It doesn't take much from you to make me melt and bend to your wisdom; for it reminds me of my uncle's.
'(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you'
The best part is that when we win the war, for we are destined to, I will know that I had a part in it. That I helped save the world. That the changes we made were for the better. I wouldn't pretend that the road to victory will be easy, because when in my life has anything been easy. I know that it will be long and difficult, but in the end it will all be worth it, especially if you're standing there beside me.
'The future's open wide
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) I've seen some changes but its getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world).'
We'll be together, when we save the world. Truthfully I wouldn't want it any other way. We'll have stopped the world and made it into something better. Together you and I will have shown the whole that the different nations can work together. Then through our marriage we'll show them that the nations can live and love together.
