Stop This Train

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 generation's 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 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 its good

It'll feel like it should

And they're all still around

And you're still safe and sound

And you don't miss a thing

Till you cry when you're drivin' 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 I can't

'Cause now I see

I'll never stop this train
