Stop This Train - John Mayer

Lyrics by：John Mayer

Composed by：John Mayer

No I'm not color blind

I know the world is black and white

I try to keep an open mind

But I just can't sleep on this tonight

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't

But honestly won't 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

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'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

And 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

And they're all still around

And they'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 want to get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't

'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
