Stop This Train
By John Mayer
No, I’m not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind, but
I just can’t sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s movin in
I know I can’t
But honestly won’t someone stop this train
Don’t know how else to say it
Don’t wanna see my parents go
One generations length away from
Fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s movin in
I know I can’t
But honestly won’t someone stop this train
So scared of getting older
I’m only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that
Life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68
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 awhile
When it’s good
It will feel like it should
And they’re all
Still around
And you’re still safe and sound
And you don’t miss a thing
‘Til you cry when you’re driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s movin in
I know that I can’t cuz now I see
I’ll never stop this train
