Yet another song from John Mayer (due to my lack of motivation for an original post). I love this guy to bits. How he comes up with such powerful lyrics is beyond me.
Stop This Train - John MayerI 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
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
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

my jego died already... and it was already a week after my lil bro bother to tell, that was after i asked, jego sihat? too bad, for this summer hol, the second thing i yearn after meeting my family is my hamster , and now she's gone. :|
Too bad I don't have a sad story to share here.. I do like John Mayer as well (for the guitar) but these lyrics are amazing. I wonder why I never heard of it before.
Anyways Amir, I'll stop the train for you. Waktu belajar driving dulu, instructor ada ajar tekan break untuk stop. Hopefully that technique works as well for trains ;)
To :I - Eh? Jego died. That's sad. Your brother must've wanted to keep it from you until at least after your exams.
To Bedazzled - Initially I thought this was some sort of happy song, but when I read the lyrics it implied otherwise. Hahaha. It wont be easy though, stopping such a big train.
