No, I'm not colour-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 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 parents go

One generation's length away

From finding 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'll 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 its 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, 'cause now I see

I'll never stop this train".
