Stop This Train

No I'm not colorblind 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 I 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 sixty-eight 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 on a while 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 Singing Stop is train I want to get off And go home again I can't take the speed moving in I know I can't Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
