john mayer-stop this train



No, I'm not colorblind

I know the world is black and white

Try to keep an open mind

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 led the way

for findin' 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 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 renegotiate

Don't stop this train

Don't for a minute change the place you're in

Don't 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'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 driving

away in the dark

just 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

'cuz now I see

I'll never stop this train
