Текст песни:

In times like these
In times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on...
On and on it goes

And there has always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to time like these
And times like those
And what will be will be
And so it goes

And there will always be stop and go and fast and slow
Action, reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
Those for peace and those for war
And god bless these ones, not those ones
But these ones made times like these
And times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on...
On and on it goes

But somehow I know it won′t be the same
Somehow I know it will never be the same.

Текст песни:

Hermit crabs and cowry shells
Crush beneath his feet as he comes towards you
He′s waving at you

Lift him up to see what you can see
He begins his focusing
He′s aiming at you

And now he has cutaways from memories
And close-ups of anything that
He has seen or even dreamed
And now he′s finished focusing

He′s imagining lightning
Striking sea sickness
Away from here

Look who′s laughing now that you′ve wasted
How many years and you′ve barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you′ve boasted about
Look who′s crying now

Driftwood floats, after years of erosion
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them,
Quicksand steals my shoe,
Clouds bring the f-stop blues

Look who′s laughing now that you′ve wasted
How many years and you′ve barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you′ve boasted about
Look who′s crying now

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

I heard this old story before
where the people keepa calling for the metaphors
that don′t leave much up to the imagination
so i wanna give this imagery back
but i know it ain′t just so easy like that
so i turn the page and read the story again and again and again
sure seems the same, with a different name
we′re breaking and rebuilding, and we′re growing always guessin

never know we′re shocking but we′re nothing
we′re just moments
we′re clever but we′re clueless
we′re just human
amusing and confusing
we′re tryin′ but where is this all leading
we′ll never know

it all happens so much
faster than you can say disaster
wanna take a time lapse and look at it back
we found the last one but maybe that′s just the answer
that we′re after but after all
we′re just a bubble in a boiling pot
just one breath in a chain of thought
the moment′s just combusting
feels certain but we′ll never never know
sure seems the same, give it a differnet name
we′re begging, and we′re needing and we′re trying and we′re breathing

never know we′re shocking but we′re nothing
we′re just moments
we′re clever but we′re clueless
we′re just human
amusing and confusing
we′re helping rebulding and we′re growing
never know

never know
never know

knock knock on a door to door
tell you that the metaphor is better than yours
and you can either sink or swim
things are looking pretty grim
if you don′t believe in what they′re spoon feedin
it′s got no feeling so we′ll read it again and again and again
sure seems the same, so many different names
our hearts are strong, our heads are weak we′ll always be competing

never know we′re shocking but we′re nothing
we′re just moments
we′re clever but we′re clueless
we′re just human
amusing and confusing
but the truth is
all we got is questions we′ll never know

never know
never know

Текст песни:

I′ve got a symbol in my driveway
I′ve got a hundred million dollar friends
I′ve got you a brand new weapon
Let′s see how destructive we can be
Got a brand new set of stencils
I been connecting all the dots
Got my plans in a zip-lock bag
Let′s see how unproductive we can be
I′ve got a light bulb full of anger
And I can switch it on and off
Situations that can be so bright
I can′t believe
How pathetic we can be
I′ve got a perfect set of blueprints
I′m gonna build somebody else
Might cost a little more than money
But what′s man without his wealth?
Got a phosphorescent secret
But don′t you tell nobody else
Next thing you know
The whole world will be talkin
About all the blues they got
They just ain′t no use because
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm

Jack: I had a mosquito on my nose
Little Girl: Why does a guitar have strings?

Текст песни:

Bring on your hunters
Let them bring their dogs
It′s me that your wanted
I′ve been right here all along
Right here all along

You better bring your buckets
We′re got some dreams to drain
I′ll be at the bottom
I′ve been right here waiting so long
Just waiting so long

Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I′ll be here waiting

You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you′ll come back
To set us free

Run my dear son
Until we get to the trees
And then keep on going all the way
We′ve got to get right down to the sea
We′ve got to get to the sea

Oh my dear son
We′re got to get to the sea

But don′t you touch the water
Don′t you barely breathe
And if you see yourself
Looking back at you
You′re going to have to leave
You′re going to have to leave
I don′t want you to go
But you′ve got to leave

Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I′ll be here waiting

You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you′ll come back
You′re going to set us free

I don′t want you to go
But you′ve got to leave
You can always come to me
I′ll give you what you need
Run my dear son
We′ve got to get to the sea

Текст песни:

I know she said it′s alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it′s not right
There ain′t no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don′t
I′m so, I′m so tired, I′m so tired of trying

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don′t tell me you might just let it go
And often times we′re lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she′s gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn′t want to break ′em, nah, I wouldn′t want to break ′em
Maybe she′ll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I′m gonna have to lie too

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don′t tell me you might just let it go
And often times we′re lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don′t tell me you might just let it go

The harder that you try baby, the further you′ll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don′t pass me
Please please please don′t pass me
Please please please don′t pass me by

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me down

Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me
Please please please don′t drag me down

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

Hey, little girl
You might not know this song
This is not the kind of song
That you can sing along to
But hey, little girl
Maybe some day
At least that′s what all
The good people will say

Hey, little girl
Look what you′ve done
You′ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You′ve stole my heart
And made it your own

Hey, little girl
Black and white and right and wrong
Only live inside a song
I will sing to you

You don′t ever have to feel lonely
You will never lose any tears
You don′t have to feel any sadness
When you look back on the years

How can I look you in the eyes,
And tell you such big lies?
The best I can do is try to show you
How to love with no fear
My little girl
You′ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You′ve stole my heart
And made it your own

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

The horizon has been defeated
By the pirates of the new age
Alien casinos
Well maybe it′s just time to say
Things can go bad
And make you want to run away
But as we grow older
The troubles just seems to stay

Future complications
In the strings between the cans
But no prints can come from fingers
If machines become our hands
And then our feet become the wheels
And then the wheels become the cars
And then the rigs begin to drill
Until the drilling goes too far

Things can go bad
And make you want to run away
But as we grow older
The horizon begins to fade away

Thingamajigsaw puzzled
Anger don′t you step too close
Because people are lonely and only
Animals with fancy shoes
Hallelujah zig zag nothing
Misery it′s on the loose
Because people are lonely and only
Animals with too many tools
That can build all the junk that we sell
Sometimes it makes you want to yell

Things can go bad
And make you want to run away
But as we grow older
The horizon begins to fade away

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

Yea
And I′m just a waste of her energy
And she′s just wasting my time
Mmhmmm
So why don′t we get together
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste and we could waste it all tonight
Yea
And we could waste and we could waste it all tonight

And I don′t pretend to know what you know
No no
Now please don′t pretend to know what′s on my mind
If we already knew everything that everybody knows
We would have nothing to learn tonight
And we would have nothing to show tonight
Oh but everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Nobody knows
Anything about themselves
Cause their all worried about everybody else
Yea
Oh

Loves just a waste of our energy yea
And this life′s just a waste of our time
So why don′t we get together
We could waste everything tonight
And we could waste and we could waste it all yea
But everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Now now now nobody knows
Anything about themselves
Cause their all worried about everybody else yea
Oh
And we could waste

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

She′s got it all figured out

She knows what everything′s about
And when anybody doubts her,
Or sings songs without her
She′s just so mmm

She knows the world is just her stage
And so she′ll never misbehave
She gives thanks for what they gave her
Man, they practically made her
Into a mmm

She′s the one that stumbles when she talks about
The seven foreign films that she′s checked out
Such a fortunate fool
She′s just too good to be true
She′s such a fortunate fool
She′s just so mmm

She′s got it all figured out
She knows what everything′s about
And when anybody doubts her
Or sings songs about her
She′s just so mmm

She′s the one that stumbles when she talks about it
So maybe we shouldn′t talk about
Such a fortunate fool
She′s just too good to be true
She′s such a fortunate fool
She′s just so mmm

Текст песни:

when your mind is a mess so is mine i can′t sleep
cause it hurts when i think my thoughts aren′t at peace
with the plans that we make, chances we take
they′re not yours they′re not mine

there′s waves i can′t break
all the words that we say ain′t the words that we mean
words for sure can′t see the unseen
cause the world is away for somebody′s sake

now please close your eyes woman please get some sleep

and know that if i knew all of the answers
i wouldn′t hold them from you
no all of the things that i know
we′ve told each other
there is no other way


too much silence can be misleading
you′re drifting i can hear it in the way that you′re breathing
we don′t really need to find reason cause out the same door that it came
well it′s leaving , it′s leaving ..

leaving like a day that′s done a part of a season
resolve is just a concept that′s just dead as a lease
but at least we could sleep it′s all that we need
when we wake we would find our minds will be free to go to sleep

and know that if i knew all of the answers
i wouldn′t hold them from you
no all of the things that i know
we′ve told each other
there is no other way

Текст песни:

A billion people died on the news tonight

But not so many cried at the terrible sight
Well mama said
It′s just make believe
You can′t believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

Who′s the one to decide that it would be alright
To put the music behind the news tonight
Well mama said
You can′t believe everything you hear
The diagetic world is so unclear
So baby close your ears
On the news tonight
On the news tonight

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said

Why don′t the newscasters cry when they read about people who die?
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said
It′s just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

Your voice is adrift
I can′t expect it to sing to me
As if I was the only one

I′ll follow you
The leaf that′s following the sun
When will my weight be too much for you?
When will these ideas really be my own?
Cause this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on

This was a scene worth waking up for
When I woke up
You planted me in my own body
Don′t know why
But somehow it just feels so wrong
When you′re sad I will be lonely
But when you rise again I′ll become the sun
I will shine down upon you
As if you were the only one

Your voice is your own, I can′t protect it
You′ll have to sing
A verse no one has ever known

Don′t be afraid
Cause no one ever sings alone
Your way will never be too much for me
Your ideas have always been your own
And this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

Oh, you′re such a pretty thing
I′ll take you and I′ll make you all mine.

I will steal you from this patient world
Let it chase us,
It could never take you back.

We could watch it from the clouds,
We can′t stop it anyhow,
It′s not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds,
We can′t stop it anyhow,
It′s not ours.

I know you know me well enough to know I′m lucky to have you.
But oh, it′s just the little things,
The words that I should tell you all the time.

Like, You′re so sweet to me,
When you beat me in double solitaire.
You′re so sweet to me,
In a world that′s not always fair.

We could watch it from the clouds,
We can′t stop it anyhow,
It′s not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds,
We can′t stop it anyhow,
It′s not ours.

The more love that you feel,
The more your little heart will ache.
Love′s the only thing that carries on,
It′s the only thing this world can take.

This love is ours.
This love is oooooooo...

Oh, you′re such a pretty thing,
I′ll take you and I′ll make you all mine.

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

No Good with faces and I′m bad with names
Gave me directions but it′s all the same ah nah I′m lost
I′m too tired to try
Streetlamps are broken black the way I came
Who broke the moonlight watch it wax and wane ah na I′m lost
I′m too tired to try

Let′s not get ahead of ourselves now
There′s no need for rain it′s our own parade
Let′s not be afraid of our reflections
It′s not only you you′re looking at now

Road signs are stolen left here hole in this flame
Who stay my patience who stole my way ah nah I′m lost
I′m too tired to try

Let′s not get ahead of ourselves now
There′s no need for raid it′s our own parade
Let′s not be afraid of our reflections
It′s not only you you′re looking at now

Let′s not get ahead of ourselves now
There′s no need for raid it′s our own parade
Let′s not be afraid of our reflections
It′s not only you you′re looking at now

Oooh you′re looking at now
Oooh you′re looking at now

No Good with faces and I′m bad with names
Gave me directions but it′s all the same ah nah I′m lost
I′m too tired to try

Текст песни:

Well that′s alright
If that′s alright
2000 miles were still
And that′s alright
And that′s alright
If that′s alright
I′ll see you in the morning
If that′s alright
And what would you do if I wrote you a song
Would you give me some lovin
Or would you be mad at me if I had a hard time
Gettin a hold of you
I try all the time
And I think that
You don′t know anybody that could be
So bad
But if you did
You′d be wonderin′ where I′m at
Well I′ll be home when tomorrow mornin comes
What would you do if i sang you this song
The connection is bad but that′s only the phone
′Cause when my words kiss your ear
I′ll be right there
The message is long
′Cause baby this is your song
I think that
You don′t know anybody that could be
So bad
But if you did
You′d be wonderin
Well I′ll be home when tomorrow mornin
And I think that
You don
So bad
But if you did
You
Well I
And that′s alright
′Cause I′ll be home when tomorrow mornin
And that′s alright
′Cause I′ll be home when tomorrow mornin comes.
