"all at once"
artist: jack johnson
album: sleep through the static
all at once,
the world can overwhelm me
there's almost nothing 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 the sun
some say its' going to be the new hell
some say it's still too early to tell
some say it really ain't no myth at all
we keep asking 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 them as they grow
and with each new beat
from your heart the roots grow deeper
the branches, well they reach for what?
nobody really knows
but underneath it all
there's this heart all alone
what about when it's gone?
it really won't be so long
sometimes it feels like a heart
is no place to be singing 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
but if your waiting on the wind
don't forget to breathe
because as the darkness gets deeper
we're sinkin as we reach for love
at least something we can hold
but i'll reach to you
from where time just cant go
what about when it's gone?
it really won't be so long
sometimes it feels like a heart
is no place to be singing from at all
