This song made me have an epiphany, So I thought I’d share it

Title-Never Know
Artist- Jack Johnson

Link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZmnam...

Lyrics-

I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on playing for their metaphors
But don’t leave much up to the imagination,
So I, wanna give this imagery back
But I know it just ain’t so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again
and again and again
It sure seems the same, with a different name
We’re breaking and rebuilding
and we’re growing
always guessing

Never knowing
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
Were trying but where is this all leading?
We’ll Never Know

It all happened so much faster than you could say disaster
Wanna take a time lapse and look at it backwards
Find the last one and 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
We’re moments just combusting
We feel certain but we’ll never, never know
It sure seems the same, give it a different name
We’re begging and we’re needing
and we’re trying and we’re breathing

Never knowing
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, rebuilding and we’re growing
Never Know

Knock, knock coming door to door
To tell ya that their 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 feeding
Its got no feeling so I read it again and again and again

It sure seems the same so many different names
Our hearts are strong our heads are weak
We’ll always be competing

Never knowing
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

That lifes short (cliche) and I’ve heard it before from like……..everyone, but Some reason this song made me accept that, or at least recognize it, I think it was the line that was like

“But after all we’re just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We’re moments just combusting”

Was some **** nice wording on his part

It’s a great song. If you like Jack Johnson you might like Ryan Adams, you should check him out. Come Pick Me Up in particular.

LOL, I know what you mean… if you’re ever in Texas head this way. My friend is a singer/songwriter and he’s really amazing. He plays stuff along the lines of Van Morrissen and Jack Johnson and Ryan Adams.
