So Scared of Getting Older, I'm Only Good at Being Young

So everyday when you wake up, if you're lucky, you have a song that is stuck in your head .. I love those days .. cuz I'm a firm believer in the fact that whatever song you wake up with in your head is going to set the pace for your day .. this is the song that was in mine today .. and its a gorgeous song by John Mayer <3>

enjoy xoxo


No, I'm not colorblind

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 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


"Once in awhile, 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

Till 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

Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
