Stop This Train

One of my most favourite songs. Listening to it makes me miss alot of things like home, friends, my childhood and sometimes when it gets a little quiet and lonely in the city, i do get sentimental. I guess i have the "growing up in a small town" inferiority. From young i knew i would leave home and it would never be the same. And there is that fear that would never go away. Fear of being on your own, fear that you wouldn't be who you want to be, fear that your life spirals out of your control and the fear of losing it all. Well, the song speaks for itself. True that at a point of our life, we just want it to stop and the reality is, we can't. So take it to heart that we have to keep on going till the end. And do take a listen to it here. It's good i promise. Have a great March x

Stop This Train

By John Mayer

No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
I 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,
I 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 sixty-eight, 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

Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
When you're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark

Singing stop this train i want to get out 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.
