“Stop this train… I wanna get out and go home again, I can’t take the speed it’s movin’ in..” – John Mayer
I’m not sure if you have heard this song – and if so, if you’ve been able to listen to it without crying. He talks about not wanting to see his parents “go” and how he is “one generation’s length away” from fighting life out on his own.
He spoke to his father who said, “Don’t for a minute change the place your in…”
The song speaks of the bittersweetness of life and how, despite how heart wrenching it can be, we need to be in it – right where we are.
If you get a chance, grab a tissue and have a listen.
