No, Im not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just cant sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I cant take the speed its moving in
I know I cant
But honestly, wont someone stop this train?
Dont know how else to say it
Dont want to see my parents go
One generations length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I cant take the speed its moving in
I know I cant
But honestly, wont someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
Im 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 renegotiate"
"Dont stop this train
Dont for a minute change the place youre in
And dont think I couldnt ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly well never stop this train"
Once in awhile, when its good
Itll feel like it should
And theyre all still around
And youre still safe and sound
And you dont miss a thing
Till you cry when youre driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I cant take the speed its moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see Ill never stop this train
No, Im not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just cant sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I cant take the speed its moving in
I know I cant
But honestly, wont someone stop this train?
Dont know how else to say it
Dont want to see my parents go
One generations length away
From fighting life out on my own
