John Mayer - Stop This Train lyrics
[John Mayer - Stop This Train lyrics]
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
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?
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 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?
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 couldn't 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
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
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"
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But, I just can't sleep on this tonight
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?
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 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?
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 couldn't 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
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
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"
