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

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.

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.

Текст песни:

If they tell me that the bees
Don′t make honey anymore
Then what am I supposed to tell you
And if they tell me that the ocean
Is tired of her shores
Then tell me
What am I supposed to tell you

When I can′t tell you anything
But the truth

When I can′t tell you anything
But the truth

What happens to an eagle′s nest in a storm
How does the mama
Keep the baby warm
What if the wind
Is telling us that it′s time
And what if we′re not ready to fly

I can′t tell you anything
But the truth
I can′t tell you anything
But the truth

Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing

But I can′t tell you anything
But the truth

Buth I can′t tell you anything
But the truth

What is this place
Who am I
Why did we come here

I don′t know I don′t know
But I don′t know
That we′re meant to know

I don′t know I don′t know
But I don′t know
That we′re meant to know

Текст песни:

I dont care what you do

I only care about you

And I dont care what you say

Are you comin my way

And I dont care what your momma say

And I dont care what your poppa say

And I dont care what your friends say

Im gon love you anyway

Come on and take a ride

Come on and take a ride

(Chorus):

I got to give it to you

I got to give it to you

I got to give it to you

I got to give it to you

When I was all out of luck you brought me the jackpot

All outta luck, the kissin and the huggin

On a nervous breakdown, Ill tell ya little somethin

I wanna thank you babe, you kept me from boogeyin

(Jack Johnson):

Well let me tell you about a girl I met one time

She got the looks and the books, gotta make her mine

She told me things that nobody ever told me,

and as she taught me well I learned

That I love all the time we would spend and the nights just talkin

In the morning I would leave and then I′d come back knockin

For you girl

Always lookin for you girl

(Chorus)

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

After all this time
After all of this season
After your own decision to go to the water for a reason
It′s only the ocean and you
And all of this lines
Will all be erased soon
They′ll go out with the tide
And come back with the waves
It′s only the ocean and you

You don′t want
You don′t wait
You don′t love but you don′t hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in

And this work is done
And this cold is dry
When this world′s too much
It will be only the ocean and me
When this sales go off
Mountanis fade away
Stars come back
I′m finaly free
It′s only the ocean and me

You don′t want
You don′t wait
You don′t love but you don′t hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
And you pull me in

You don′t want
You don′t wait
You don′t love but you don′t hate
You just roll right over me
And you pull me in

And you pull me in...

You just roll over me
And you pull me in

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

Some will say
This place is wrong
These hands are fast
This face is long

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you′re standing on

These plans are torn
These feet are cold
This shield is worn
This peace was stolen

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you′re standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you′re asleep
They′ll be here still
Breathing out or in
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you′re standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you′re asleep
They′ll be here still
Breathing out or in

Текст песни:

Are they laughing at or with me?
Aww, baby, those are such great shoes
I think that I′m so happy now
And I think this is a bitter you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can′t we just say what we mean?

People are just trying to fit in
But is this something telling you?
You can′t just anyone in this town
Aww, baby, those are such great shoes
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can′t we just say what we mean?

Don′t put your money where your mouth is, baby
We don′t wanna see you choke
Nobody′s choking around here anymore
Nobody′s broken any high score
No dancing shoes will touch this dusty floors
For such a long, long time
For such a long, long time
For such a long time

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can′t we just say what we mean?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (4x)

Текст песни:

well you win- it′s your show now
so what′s it gonna be?
cause people will tune in-
how many train wrecks do we need to see?
before we lose touch of-
and we thought this was low
well it′s bad, getting worse so

where′d all the good people go?
i′ve been changing channels
i don′t see them on the tv shows
where′d all the good people go?
we got heaps and heaps of what we saw

they got this and that
with a rattle-a-tat
testing- 1 2
now what you gonna do?
bad news, misused
got too much to lose
gimme some truth
now whose side are we on?
whatever you say, turn on the boobtube
i′m in the mood to obey
so leave me astray, and by the way now

where′d all the good people go?
i′ve been changing channels
i don′t see them on the tv shows
where′d all the good people go?
we got heaps and heaps of what we saw

sitting around feeling far away
so far away but i can feel the debris
can you feel it ?
you interrupt me from a friendly conversation
to tell me how great it′s all gonna be
you might notice some hesitation
cause it′s important to you, it′s not important to me
but way down by the edge of your reasons
well it′s begining to show
and all i really wanna know is

where′d all the good people go?
i′ve been changing channels
i don′t see them on the tv shows
where′d all the good people go?
we got heaps and heaps of what we saw

[ chorus + verse 2 at the same time ]
they got this and that
with a rattle-a-tat
testing- 1 2
now what you gonna do?
bad news, misused
gimme some truth
you got too much to lose
now whose side are we on?
today, anyday- ok whatever you say,
wrong or resolute, i′m in the mood to obey
station through station
desensitizing the nation

where′d all the good people go ?

going..
going ..
gone.

Текст песни:

Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

I pictured us at the end of time
Holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the background of the picture
Was water running to the sea

So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

The feed back loop
Is closing is so tight
Surrounding ourselves
With satellites

So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
I pictured us at the end of time
Taking pictures of nothing

Текст песни:

There′s traffic in the sky
and it doesn′t seem to be getting much better
there′s kids playing games on the pavement
drawing waves on the pavement
shadows of the planes on the pavement
its enough to make me cry
but that don′t seem like it would make it feel better
maybe its a dream and if I scream
it will burst at the seams
this whole place will fall to pieces
and then they′d say...

well how could we have known?
I′ll tell them it′s not so hard to tell
if you keep on adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well

puzzle pieces in the ground
but no one ever seems to be digging
instead they′re looking up towards the heavens
with their eyes on the heavens
there are shadows on the way to the heavens
it′s enough to make me cry
but that don′t seem like it would make it feel better
The answers could be found
we could learn from digging down
but no one ever seems to be digging
instead they′ll say...

well how could we have known?
I′ll tell them it′s not so hard to tell
if you keep on adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well

words of wisdom all around
but no one ever seems to listen
they′re talking about their planes on paper
building up from the pavement
there are shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
it′s enough to make me sigh
but that don′t seem like it would make it feel better
the words are still around
but the words are only sounds
and no one ever seems to listen
instead they′ll say

well how could we have known?
I′ll tell them it′s not so hard to tell
if you keep on adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well

Текст песни:

Can′t you see that it′s just rainin
There ain′t no need to go outside

But baby
You hardly even notice
When i try to show you this
Song it
From doin′ what you′re supposed to
Wakin′ up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I

Pretend like its the weekend now
We could pretend it all the time
Can′t you see that it′s just rainin′
There ain′t no need to go outside

Just maybe
Hala ka ukulele
mama made a baby
Really dont mind the practice
Cuz you′re my little lady
Lady lady love me
Cause i love to lay you lazy
We could close the curtains

Pretend like there′s no work outside
We could pretend that all the time
And can′t you see that it′s just rainin′
There ain′t no need to go outside

ain′t no need ain′t no need
mmmh mmmh mmh
can′t you see can′t you see
rain all day and i don′t mind

But the telephone′s singing ringing, its too early dont pick it up
We dont need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
It
when the whole world fits inside of your arms
do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
wake up slow
mmhm wake up slow

but baby, You hardly even notice
When i try to show you this
Song it
From doing what you
Wakin′ up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I

Pretend like it′s the weekend now
We could pretend that all the time
Can′t you see that it′s just rainin′
There ain′t no need to go outside

Ain′t no need, ain′t no need
Rain all day and I really really really don
Can′t you see?, cant you see?
We gotta wake up slow

@ Jack Johnson

Текст песни:

In my rearview
I watch you watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
Nothing to prove, or to assume
Just thinking if your thoughts are different than mine
In my rearview
I watch you
I give 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
There′s no apologies

Just go on
Just go on
There′re still so many things
I wanna to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We′re bound by blood that′s moving
The moment that we started
The moment that we started

I see perfect little lives
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 life carelessly through
You can do the same
It′s the least you can do
Cause it′s a lonely little chain
If you don′t add to it

So go on
Just go on
There′s so many things
I wanna say to you
Go on
Just go on
We′re bound by blood and love
The moment that we started
Just go on
Just go on
There′re still so many things
I wanna say to you
Just go on
Just go on
We′re bound by blood that′s moving
The moment that we started
The moment that we started

Текст песни:

Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else

Because the posters on the wall they don′t look like him at all

So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain′t loved at all

He gets his courage from the can,
It makes him feel like a man
Because he′s loving all the ladies
But the ladies don′t love him at all

Cause when he′s not drunk
He′s only stuck on himself
And then he has the nerve
To say he needs a decent girl

Looking at herself but wishing she was someone else
Because the body of the doll it don′t look like hers at all

So she straps it on, she sucks it in, she throws it up, and gives a grin
Laughing at herself because she knows she ain′t that at all

All caught up in the trends
Well the truth began to bend
And the next thing you know man
There just ain′t no truth left at all

Cause when the pretty girl walks
She walks so proud
And when the pretty girl laughs
Oh man, she laughs so loud

And if it ain′t this then its that
As a matter of fact
She hasn′t had a day to relax
Since she has lost her ability to think clearly

Well I′m an energetic hypothetic version of another person
Check out my outsides there ain′t nothing in here

Well I′m a superficial, systematic, music television addict
Check out my outsides there ain′t nothing in

Here comes another one, just like the other one
Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
Because the posters on the wall they don′t look like a him
And so he ties it up he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain′t loved at all
He knows he ain′t loved at all

Текст песни:

I don′t want you to go
I don′t want you to go

But it′s time to turn your love
Give it back (x2)
Give it back...

I don′t want you to know
Let′s not go sleep tonight
It′s not that it goes too fast
It′s just that it goes at all

And it′s time to turn your love
Give it back (x3)
Give it back...

Why should I be sad when I′m just you? [?]
Why should I be sad? Baby, I′m with you (x2)
Baby, I′m with you...

And it′s time to turn your love
Give it back (x3)
Give it back...

Give it back, give it back, give it back...
