I'm so scared of getting older

I'm only good at being young

So I play the numbers game

To find a way to say my life has just begun

I've been thinking a lot today, um... about time. And how, when you're young-- like when you're Jackie's age-- a year is like a fifth of your existence. And so maybe when you're younger, time seems to move a little bit slower. Summer vacation is a lifetime. 

But the older we get, the faster time just seems to come at us. All of us. You know, the years just keep flying by, faster and faster. It can give a guy whiplash, just thinking about it.

And so while I would love nothing more than to... stay in this moment as long as humanly possible, to celebrate our favorite newlyweds... sadly, I have yet to build a remote that pauses life. Damn. 

That doesn't mean there aren't still summer vacations to be enjoyed. Still good conversations to be had. And still love to be shared. It just all happens much faster. 

But, um... in moments like this, when you're around all your favorite people... celebrating a really special day... time does slow down ever so much. So I'm grateful to Kate and Philip for that. And I'm filled with comfort, as I look around this room, knowing that all of you will be on this speeding train with me, slowing down for the occasional special stop. All the way till the very end.

No, I'm not colorblind I know the world is black and white I 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 a way to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man Said, "Help me understand" He said "Turn 68, you'll re-negotiate" "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"

Oh, now, 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 back home again I can't take the speed it’s moving in I know I can't 'Cause now I see, I'm never gonna stop this train

I'm so scared of getting older

I'm only good at being young

So I play the numbers game

To find a way to say my life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man

Said, "Help me understand"

He said "Turn 68, oh, you'll re-negotiate"

Stop this Train, John Mayer. Still my best lyrics of a song I ever heard.
