user

user
go on is probably my favorite...saw him in somerserset and he dedicated upside down to a kid on his dads shoulders...Jack Johnson is great and very soothing so keep negative stuff to yourself
user
thanks for posting this! its a great version of the song, i actually like it more than the album one
user
I agree..... It's like saying "I don't care about the message.... or anything about the song to that effect.... I just know it sucks". They probably haven't even heard the song!
user
i disagree, he is a great songwriter. if you took these chords and played barre chords in a reggae riddim over top and sang the same melody, it would be very different, but the song is the same. his songs dont suck, your interpretation of them just does.

Lyrics:
All at once the world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind
Which way will you run
When it's always all around you?
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around a sun, some say
There's gonna be the new hell, some say
It's still too early to tell, some say
It really ain't no myth at all
Keep askin' ourselves, are we really strong enough?
There's so many things that we got too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of
I wanna take the preconceived out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off and instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch 'em as they grow and with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all there's this heart all alone
And what about when it's gone
It really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singin' from at all
There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all could blow away with a breeze
If you're waitin' on the wind don't forget to breathe
'Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll sink and so we reach for love
At least somethin' we can hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go
And what about when it's gone
Oh, it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singin' from at all
All at once the world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind
Which way will you run
When it's always all around you?
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around a sun, some say
There's gonna be the new hell, some say
It's still too early to tell, some say
It really ain't no myth at all
Keep askin' ourselves, are we really strong enough?
There's so many things that we got too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of
I wanna take the preconceived out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off and instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch 'em as they grow and with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all there's this heart all alone
And what about when it's gone
It really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singin' from at all
There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all could blow away with a breeze
If you're waitin' on the wind don't forget to breathe
'Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll sink and so we reach for love
At least somethin' we can hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go
And what about when it's gone
Oh, it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singin' from at all
