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 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 wanna see my parent's go
I'm 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 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 renegotiate"
Don't stop this train
Don't, for a minute, change the place you're in
I don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand, tried 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 we'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 wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't, but now I see
I'll never stop this train
