This is when the ink stops flowing This is when my head starts going This is when I just can't get it out This is when the hits keep comin' Just when I think I'm on to something This is when the bottom bottoms out I promise good enough for you Then I never keep it I pace the floor at night when all the pretty world is sleeping And all the world is sleeping When the lights go down and the girls are screaming Don't stop now And I catch my breath and my heart is beating and all I'm thinking is Don't stop now ♪ This is when my hands are shaking This is when the rules are breaking This is when the music plays too loud, oh This is when it's now or never When it goes from bad to better This is when it all makes sense somehow I promise good enough for you And pray that I can keep it And all the world is watching While I'm open-mouthed and dreaming When the lights go down and the girls are screaming Don't stop now Then I catch my breath and my heart is beating and all I'm thinking is Don't stop now ♪ I promise good enough for you And find that I can keep it And all the world is right with me And all we are is breathing This is when the ink starts flowing This is where my heart is going This is when my hands belong to you When the lights go down and the girls are screaming Don't stop now Then I catch my breath and my heart is beating and all I'm thinking is Don't stop now And we don't stop now So I catch my breath And I won't stop now ♪ Don't stop now
