JACK JOHNSON LYRICS

“Losing Keys” - Jack Johnson
album: Sleep Through The Static (2008)

Don’t worry
Everybody in the room notices you
Sit back and relax
The night is early
We are about to overdo it
So come and tell me something that you’ve already told me
Cause everybody’s already heard our lovely stories
I’m hoping some of them are true

I’ve been losing lots of keys lately,
I don’t know what that means
But maybe I’ve been better off with things that can’t be locked at all
I’ve been feeling kind of sea sick lately,
See you reaching to me gonna save me
You were me, I would much rather take the fall

The world has its ways
To quite us down
The world has its ways

To quiet us down comes the rain
Down comes our spirits again
But Down comes the strength
To lift us up and then…

Been going up when now
For to long
Forget how
To let go
Seems to hard
To late now
To turn around
The world has its ways
To quite us down
The world has its ways
To quiet us down comes rain
Down comes our spirits again
Down comes the strength
To lift us up and then…

JACK JOHNSON LYRICS

“Monsoon” - Jack Johnson
album: Sleep Through The Static (2008)

I feel sorrow for the fear
And everything it brings
Wonder if it will ever sleep
I know you understand
‘Cause you briefly look away
Focusing on nothing so now everything is clear
‘Cause there’s no one to blame
You got no place to hide
It’s only in your mind
And I saw you in amazement stumbling through the day
You told me time never waits
What is that supposed to mean?
All of life is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon can turn the tides
It can pull the tears and take ‘em from our eyes
And make ‘em into monsoons
And turn ‘em into monsoon-er or later they’ll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Yeah, free for a while
Until they break like waves of sorrow always do
All in due time
‘Cause time never waits

Daddy don’t daydream again
Just help me to believe and then
Show me that there’s more than the mean time
Sonny do you hear the sound?
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when it’s gone
How else can I explain?
‘Cause it’s only the pain
Coming straight through
Coming to remind
Cross cut to you in amazement stumbling through the day
You tell me time never waits
That’s okay ‘cause I don’t wait for time
When all of life is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon can turn the tides
It can pull the tears and take ‘em from our eyes
And turn ‘em into monsoons
And make ‘em into monsoon-er or later they’ll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Free for a while
Until they break (mmmm)
Like waves of sorrow always break
All in due time
‘Cause time never waits

JACK JOHNSON LYRICS

“While We Wait” - Jack Johnson
album: Sleep Through The Static (2008)

It feels right
It feels wrong
It feels like when you have it, then it’s gone
I want more
More and more
And if you steal the fire
Give me some
Cause the sun
Disobeys while it waits for a friend to arrive from the past
What holds us around, and around
While we wait

JACK JOHNSON LYRICS

“They Do They Don’t” - Jack Johnson
album: Sleep Through The Static (2008)

Tied down against the tracks
Screamin’ in silent black and white
You trust us
We are such villains
We will tell ourselves anything we want to hear
If we are willin’
To listen is to learn
And too much is what we deserve
And how come when we say that we do; we don’t
Can pray to anybody you want; we won’t

OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH

But if were the ones to blame then the fruit
It shouldn’t taste so good
We were used
To think we got nothing to lose
We’re losin’ everything but the truth
Cause walkin’ straight into a road block, bendin’
Left, it ended
Your point of view is chosen by the serpent’s rules

With all it’s do’s and don’ts
The future’s an empty promise
I’m concerned and so tired of waitin’
But we could sell it wooden horses full of nightmares
And when they open
This all might be composed
There’s no goin’ back to the good old days
It’s just a favoring and some new light
Archaism is a dusty road leadin’ us back to nowhere

If we’re the ones to blame then the fruit
It shouldn’t taste so good
We were used
To think we got nothing to lose
We’re losin’ everything but the truth
Cause walkin’ straight into a road block, endin’
Left, it bended
Your point of view is chosen by the serpent’s rules

OH OH OH OH

How come when we say we do; we don’t
How come when we say we will; we won’t
How come when we say we do; we don’t
How come when we say we will; we won’t

JACK JOHNSON LYRICS

“Go On” - Jack Johnson
album: Sleep Through The Static (2008)

In my rear view
I watch you watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
With nothing to prove, or to assume
Just thinking that your thoughts are different than mine
In my rear view
I watch you
And I gave you your life, would you give me mine

I see you slowly swim away
Cause the light is leaving town
To a place that I can’t be
But there’s no apologies

Just go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood that’s moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start

I see your perfect little lies
Watch the shadows of the clouds
And the surface of the ocean out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I’m used to walking with my feet

Turbulence is like a sigh that I can’t help but over think

What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn’t ever do
With learning to let it go
Live vicariously through
You could do the same
It’s the least you could do
Cause it’s a lonely little chain
If you don’t add to it

So go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood and love
From the moment that we start
Just go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
Just go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood that’s moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start
