Lindsay Ell - Stop This Train Lyrics

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 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 want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting 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 sixty-eight
You'll renegotiate"

Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I could ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train

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 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
