Stop This Train - Live at the Nokia Theatre - John Mayer

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 my 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

its movin in

I know I can't.

Cause now I see,

I'll never stop this train."
