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 it's 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 can't 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
I dont understand what yall are talking about at all, this song has no hope to it at all. He says to reach out for love and plant seeds to start something new, but what will they reach? Noone knows. Theres still hope between the dreams but the weight of it all could blow away with the breeze? Your sinking as you reach for love. Ill reach for you from where time just cant go. well where is the one place time cant go? what about when its gone, it really wont be so long. and still in the end, the heart is no place to be singing from at all. I see no hope in this song. Just over coming it anyway. Without pain without sacrifice we would have nothing. its only once youve lost everything your free to do anything. This song seems to speak that
this song is kinda thematic to my life.. it always seems to be out of my control and i never seem to have any say in what happens to me. my parents divorce and i have to do what i cant to please both of them. then my bf cheats on me with my sister and i have to put on this front that says im okay...but im not..and then today i find out my dad is taking a job 2.5 hours away from home so he will never be home during the week..and the changes just never stop. all at once..the world can overwhelm you. and underneath it all, theres this heart all alone. and now my heart doesnt seem like a place to be singing from...cuz my heart is so full of ache and is scarred. but maybe, theres still hope. this song gives me some of that hope.
portugalsurfer, I think it's totally that that Jack Johnson wants to tell and try to learn us. That the world is going to be the new hell and to avoid that, the only solution is the love !
