John Mayer's "stop this train"

Hello everyone, The short piece I chose were song lyrics to john Mayer's "Stop This Train" and I chose John Mayer as the artist because I know what his work has a lot of similies and metaphors in them and his songs can be very relatable to everyone in every situation.


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 shouldAnd 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 inI know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

This song is great because its talking about how he is scared of growing up, or moving away or anything that anyone has to do by themselves. I noticed that in the beginning of the song he is scared, he has a problem and he talks to someone about his problem and comes to a realization that. He can't stop whats gonna come and he needs to take and deal with it the best that he can.
Listening to this song anyone would want to deal with any problem this way.
