Bilingual
No I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
ย
Try to keep an open mind but
I just can't sleep on this tonight
ย
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?
ย
Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna see my parents go
ย
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
ย
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?
ย
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
ย
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that
Life has just begun
ย
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."
ย
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
It's movin in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see
I'll never stop this train
