i'm only good at being young

i'm pretty sure some of my most relevant moments have been in my car, listening to music.

i guess i am deeply impacted far more when it is unexpected than when i sit and ponder.

sitting and pondering has never seemed to get me very far. but music always does.

my cd changer in my car has like 10 cds and only about 2 of them work, but never the same 2... they change their minds on me. and today john mayer decided to grace me with his last album's presence. this song doesn't usually get me thinking, but it did today. it's very much what my growing-up heart is feeling, and was like breath to my soul when i thought about it.

now, if you like, you should think about it and see what it's got for you.

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 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, 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 68, 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

See 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 want to get off 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

(think I got 'em now)

john mayer - stop this train
