Lyrics to "Stop this Train"

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 cant 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 wont 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 wont someone
Stop this train

So scared of gettin 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
Dont 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 cant
cuz now I see
I'll never stop this train

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Love, Holly
