If only the world would stop, for one whole second,
I would check where I last went wrong.

If only the world would stop, for one whole minute,
I would think to check,
my last sixty mistakes

and if only the world would stop, for one whole hour,
I would probably think to check,
each one of the sixty mistakes
in each of the sixty minutes.

if only the world would stop for one whole day
- don't worry,
I would be sure to find that I've made enough mistakes,
every single second
to last me a lifetime.

But you are not one of my mistakes.
