[Verse 1]
No, I'm not colourblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge 1]
Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said, "turn sixty-eight, you'll renegotiate

[Chorus]
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, tried honestly
We'll never stop this train"

[Bridge 2]
Once in a while, when it's 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
[Chorus]
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
