Stop This Train

Lyrics

No I'm not colorblind
 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 movin' in
 I know I can't
 But honestly
 Won't someone stop this train?
 ♪
 Don't know how else to say it
 Don't wanna 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 movin' 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 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 its good
 It'll feel like it should
 And they're all still around
 And you're still safe and sound
 And you don't miss a thing
 Till you cry when you're drivin' 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 I can't
 'Cause now I see
 I'll never stop this train
 
 No I'm not colorblind
 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 movin' in
 I know I can't
 But honestly
 Won't someone stop this train?
 ♪
 Don't know how else to say it
