John Mayer – Stop This Train lyrics

No i'm not color blind
i know the world is black and white
try to keep an opened 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
you sit down 68 you'll renegotiate
don't stop this train
don't follow it moves the place you're in
i don't think i could ever understand
i tried my hand
john, honestly we'll never stop this train

see 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 so 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

(think i got 'em now)
