Jack Johnson - Never Know lyrics

rate me

I heard this old story before

Where the people keep on killing 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 are questions

We'll Never Know

Never Know

Never Know
