HOME

I gotta get home there's a garden to tend
There's fruit on the ground and the birds have all
moved back into my attic.
Whistling static, when the young learn to fly I will
patch all the holes up again.
Well I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
I thought it was sleepin, I guess it got fed up with
not being fed
and I would be too I keep food in my belly and hope
that my time isn't soon.
And so I try to understand
what I can't hold in my hand
and where ever we are
home is there too.
And if you could try to find it too
cause this place is over grown its a waxin moon
Home is where ever we are if there's love there too.
In the back of our house there's a trail that won't
end
We've been walking so far that it grew back in
There's no trail at all, only grass growing taller
get out my machete and battle with time once again
but I'm bound to lose cause I'll be damned if time
don't win.
I gotta get home there's a garden to tend
All the seeds from the fruit buried and begin their
own family trees teach them thank you and please
as they spread their own roots then watch the young
fruit grow again
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it
begins.
And so I try to understand
what I can't hold in my hand
And whatever I find I'll find my way back to you.
And if you could try to find it too
cause this place is over grown its a waxin moon
Home is where ever we are if there's love there too.

Losing Keys
Jack Johnson

Don't worry
Everybody in the room
Notices you
Sit back and relax
The night is early
We are about to over do 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 it's ways
To quite us down
The world has it's 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 it's ways
To quite us down
The world has it's ways
To quiet us down comes rain
Down comes our spirits again
Down comes the strength
To lift us up and then

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 said I will be lonely
When your eyes something become the sun
And I will shine down upon you
As if u 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
You weight will never be
Too much for me
Your ideas have always be your own
This moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on

She's Only Happy In The Sun
Jack Johnson
Composição: Ben Harper

I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after
The pain and the laghter brought
You to your knees
But if the sun sets you free
You'll be free indeed

She's only happy in the sun

Every time I hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of your life
Is hello goodbye

She's only happy in the sun

P.S. :IT'S A LIE...:-)

Gone

Look at all those fancy clothes
But these could keep us warm just like those
And what about your soul, is it cold?
Is it straight from the mold and ready to be sold?

And cars, and phones, and diamonds rings, bling bling
Those are only removable things
And what about your mind, does it shine?
Or are those things concerned you, more then you time?

Gone going, gone everything, gone give a damn
Gone, be the birds, when they don´t want to sing
Gone people, all awkward with their things, gone

Look at you out to make a deal
You try to be appealing but you lose your appeal
What about those shoes you´re in today, they´ll do no good
On the bridges you burnt along the way, oh...

You willing to sell anything, gone with your hurt
Leave your footprints, we´ll shame them with our words
Gone people, all careless and consumed, gone

Gone going, gone everything gone give a damn
Gone be the birds, when they don´t want to sing
Gone people, all awkward with their things, gone...
