Stop this train

No I´m not color blind
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 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, 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 away to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68, you´ll 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
See once in 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
´til you cry when you´re driving away in the dark.
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can´t take this speed it´s moving in
I know I can´t
Cause now I see I´ll never stop this train
(think I got ´em now)
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 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, 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 away to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68, you´ll 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
See once in 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
´til you cry when you´re driving away in the dark.
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can´t take this speed it´s moving in
I know I can´t
Cause now I see I´ll never stop this train
