Jack Johnson (musician)

“When you’re so lonely lying in bed,Night’s closed it’s eyes but you can’t rest your head.Everyone’s sleeping all through the house,You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow.Sing this lullaby to yourself.”

“And the water below gives a gift to the skyAnd the clouds give back every time they cryAnd make the grass grow green beneath my toes.”

“Well I’m just people watchingThe other people watching me.And we’re all people watchingThe other people watching we.”

“With everything ahead of usWe left everything behind.But nothing that we needed;At least not at this time.And now the feeling that I’m feeling,Well it’s feeling like my life is finally mine.With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive.”

“I want to turn the whole thing upside down.I’ll find the things they say just can’t be found.I’ll share this love I find with everyone.We’ll sing and dance to mother nature’s songs.I don’t want this feeling to go away.”

“Who’s to say what’s impossible?Well they forgot this world keeps spinning.And with each new day,I can feel a change in everything.And as the surface breaks, reflections fade.But in some ways they remain the same.And as my mind begins to spread it’s wingsThere’s no stopping curiosity.”

“Well I guess you could sayThat he don't even know where to beginCause he looked both ways but he was so afraidDiggin' deeper through the ditchWith every chance he missedAnd the mess he madeCause hate is such a strong wordAnd every brick he laidA mistake they sayThat his walls are getting tallerHis world is getting smaller.”

“Well if I was in your positionI'd put down all my ammunitionI'd wondered why'd it take me so long.But Lord knows that I'm not youAnd if I was I wouldn't be so cruelCause waiting on love ain't so easy to do.”

“Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?Must I always be playing, playing the fool?”

“And know that if I knewall of the answers I wouldNot hold them from you. You'dKnow all the things that I'd knowWe told each other, there is no other way.”

“They got this and that with a rattle a tat.Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do?Bad news misused, got too much to lose.Give me some truth now, whose side are we on?Whatever you say.Turn on the boob tube, I’m in the mood to obey.So lead me astray.”

“Where'd all the good people go?I've been changin' channelsI don't see them on the TV showsWhere'd all the good people go?We got heaps and heaps of what we sow.”

“The telephone is singingRinging it's too earlyDon't pick it upWe don't need to we got everythingWe need right hereAnd everything we need is enoughJust so easyWhen the whole world fits inside of your armsDon't really need to pay attention to the alarm.”

“Never knowingShocking but we're nothingWe're just momentsWe're Clever but we're cluelessWe're just humanAmusing but confusingBut the truth isAll we got is questionsWe'll Never Know.”

“Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heartLike: why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceivingI'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together.”

“Its always better when we're togetherSomewhere in between togetherIts always better when we're togetherYeah, its always better when we're together.”

“It was you it was me it was every manWe've all got the blood on our handsWe only receive what we demandand if we want hell then hells what we'll have.”

“You can't blame me sure the killer was my sonbut I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gunIt's the killing on this tv screenyou can't blame me it's those images he's seen.Well you can't blame me says the media manWell I wasn't the one who came up with the planAnd I just point my camera at what the people want to seeMan it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me.”

“And I don't pretend to know what you knowno nonow please don't pretend to know what's on my mindif we already knew everything that everybody knowswe would have nothing to learn tonightand we would have nothing to show tonightoh but everybody thinksthat everybody knowsabout everybody elsenobody knowsanything about themselvescause they're all worried about everybody else.”
