John Mayer -- Stop This Train

No, I'm not color blind;
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind; I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train -- I want to get out and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But honestly will someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Come on stop this train --
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But honestly won't someone stop this train?

So afraid of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said, "Help me understand"
He said, "Turn sixty-eight, you'll renegotiate
"Don't stop this train
"Don't for a minute change the place you're in
"Don't think I couldn't ever understand
"I tried my hand
"John, honestly we'll never stop this train"

Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
When you're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark


Singing stop this train -- I want to get out and go home again
I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
