John Mayer — Stop This Train

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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? [Piano Interlude] [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge 1] Had a talk with my old man Said, "Help me understand" He said, "Turn 68, you'll renegotiate" [Chorus] "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" [Bridge 2] 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 [Chorus] 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"
