Stop This Train

No I'm not color blind

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 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 wanna 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 could 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

'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 moving in

I know, I can't

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