To the Sea

Jack Johnson To the Sea Lyrics
1.You And Your Heart

Watch you when you say
What you are and when you blame
Everyone, You broken king
Watch you change the frame or
Watch you when you take your aim
At the sum of everything

Cause you and your heart
shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You lay there in the street
Like broken glass reflecting pieces of the sun
But you're not the flame
You got the people passing by
Because you know what you don't like
It's just so easy, it's just so easy

But you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard
Oh and you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You draw so many lines in the sand
Lost the fingernails on your hands
How you're gonna scratch any backs?
Better hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines and
Hope that time will take our lines and
Hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines away


2.To The Sea

Bring on your hunters
Let them bring their dogs
It's me that your wanted
I've been right here all along
Right here all along

You better bring your buckets
We've got some dreams to drain
I'll be at the bottom
I've been right here waiting so long
Just waiting so long

Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I'll be here waiting

You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you'll come back
To set us free

Run my dear son
Until we get to the trees
And then keep on going all the way
We've got to get right down to the sea
We've got to get to the sea

Oh my dear son
We're got to get to the sea

But don't you touch the water
Don't you barely breathe
And if you see yourself
Looking back at you
You're going to have to leave
You're going to have to leave
I don't want you to go
But you've got to leave

Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I'll be here waiting

You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you'll come back
You're going to set us free

I don't want you to go
But you've got to leave
You can always come to me
I'll give you what you need
Run my dear son
We've got to get to the sea


3.No Good With Faces

No Good with faces and I'm bad with names
Gave me directions but it's all the same ah nah I'm lost
I'm too tired to try
Streetlamps are broken black the way I came
Who broke the moonlight watch it wax and wane ah na I'm lost
I'm too tired to try

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
There's no need for rain it's our own parade
Let's not be afraid of our reflections
It's not only you you're looking at now

Road signs are stolen left here hole in this flame
Who stole my patience who stole my way ah nah I'm lost
I'm too tired to try

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
There's no need for raid it's our own parade
Let's not be afraid of our reflections
It's not only you you're looking at now

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
There's no need for raid it's our own parade
Let's not be afraid of our reflections
It's not only you you're looking at now

Oooh you're looking at now
Oooh you're looking at now

No Good with faces and I'm bad with names
Gave me directions but it's all the same ah nah I'm lost
I'm too tired to try


4.At Or With Me

Are they laughing at or with me?
Aww, baby, those are such great shoes
I think that I'm so happy now
And I think this is a bitter you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can't we just say what we mean?

People are just trying to fit in
But is this something telling you?
You can't just anyone in this town
Aww, baby, those are such great shoes
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can't we just say what we mean?

Don't put your money where your mouth is, baby
We don't wanna see you choke
Nobody's choking around here anymore
Nobody's broken any high score
No dancing shoes will touch this dusty floors
For such a long, long time
For such a long, long time
For such a long time

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can't we just say what we mean?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh


5.When I Look Up

When I look up at the stars as I walk in the night
Down the street by my house it feels good
When I look up at the stars as I walk in the night
Down the street by my house it feels good
The light from the moon is afraid of the ground
So it falls behind spaces and hides behind clouds
When I look up at the clouds as I move through the night
With the wind as I anekatips walk down the street
The light from the moon is afraid of the ground
So I step on the shadows of my own feet


6.From The Clouds

Oh, you're such a pretty thing
I'll take you and I'll make you all mine.

I will steal you from this patient world
Let it chase us, it could never take you back.

We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.

I know you know me well enough to know I'm lucky to have you.
But oh, it's just the little things,
The words that I should tell you all the time.

Like, You're so sweet to me,
When you beat me in double solitaire.
You're so sweet to me,
In a world that's not always fair.

We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.

The more love that you feel,
The more your little heart will ache.
Love's the only thing that carries on,
It's the only thing this world can take.
This love is ours.
This love is ours.
This love is oooooooo..

Oh, you're such a pretty thing,
I'll take you and I'll make you all mine.


7.My Little Girl

Hey, little girl
You might not know this song
This is not the kind of song that you can sing along to
But hey, little girl
Maybe some day
At least that's what all the good people will say

Hey, little girl
Look what you've done
You've gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You've stole my heart
And made it your own

Hey, little girl
Black and white and right and wrong
Only live inside a song
I will sing to you

You don't ever have to feel lonely
You will never lose any tears
You don't have to feel any sadness
When you look back on the years

How can I look you in the eyes,
And tell you such big lies?
The best I can do is try to show you
How to love with no fear
My little girl
You've gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You stole my heart
And made it your own


8.Turn Your Love

I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go
But it's time to turn your love, give it back
It's time to turn your love, give it back
Give it back
Give it back
I don't want you to know
Let's not go to sleep tonight
It's not that it goes too fast
It's just that goes at all
Then it's time to turn your love, give it back
It's time to turn your love, give it back
It's time to turn your love, give it back
Give it back, give it back, give it back
Give it back
Give it back
Why should I be sad when I'm just you
Why should I be sad baby I'm with you
Why should I be sad when Im just you
Why should I be sad baby I'm with,
Baby I'm with you
Baby I'm with you
It's time to turn your love, give it back
Its time to turn your love, give it back
Its time to turn your love, give it back
Give it back, give it back, give it back
Give it back
Give it back, give it back, give it back
Give it back
Give it back, give it back, give it back
Give it back, give it back, give it back
Give it back, give it back, give it back


9.The Upsetter

Some will say
This place is wrong
These hands are fast
This face is long

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on

These plans are torn
These feet are cold
This shield is worn
This peace was stolen

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you're asleep
They'll be here still
Breathing out or in

Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you're asleep
They'll be here still
Breathing out or in


10.Red WineMistakesMythology

Everybody is made of clay
That's what they used to say
Until the truth stepped on us all
Now everything that was big is small
We're just little crying robots
Program me
I wanna win the race
I wanna find the place
Where the king locked up the princess
Jump the fence
And drink a little bit of......
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now who is the king of the sky
Jupiter says oh me oh my oh why
Is the game always changing
I've been through some strangeness
What's the matter
Is the feast not fat enough
Up the ladder with your feet
Reaching with your hands
You can feel it and dream it
I know you want to believe it
Just steal it
Take a piece of the sun
And drink some. . .
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now everybody's in the play
At least that's what the script told me to say
It said:
Shadows cut across the hero's face
He falls from grace
Until a little bird sang:
The truth is never ending
We're just here pretending
Let's all laugh so that we don't cry
Let's all life our glasses up to the sky
For some...
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology


11.Pictures Of People Taking Pictures

Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
I pictured us at the end of time
Holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the back ground of the picture
Was water running to the sea
So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
just Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by
washes by
Andnow
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
The feed back loop
Is closing is sotight
Surrounding our selves with satell ites
So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it likes a river
As it slowly washes by
washes by
Andnow
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
I pictured us at the end of time
Taking pictures of nothing


12.Anything But The Truth

If they tell me that the bees don't make honey anymore
Then what am I supposed to tell you
And if they tell me that the ocean is tired of her shores
Then tell me what am I supposed to tell you

When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth

What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
How does the mama keep the baby warm
What if the wind is telling us that its time
And what if we're not ready to fly

I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth

Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing
Make it strong, give it wings

But I can't tell you anything
But the truth
And I can't tell you anything
But the truth

What is this place
Who am I
Why did we come here

What is this place
Who am I
Why did we come here

I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know

I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know


13.Only The Ocean

After all this time
After all of this season
After your own decision to go to the water for a reason
It's only the ocean and you
And all of this lines
Will all be erased soon
They'll go out with the tide
And come back with the waves
It's only the ocean and you

You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love but you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in

And this work is done
And this cold is dry
When this world's too much
It will be only the ocean and me
When this sales go off
Mountanis fade away
Stars come back
I'm finaly free
It's only the ocean and me

You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love but you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
And you pull me in

You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love but you don't hate
You just roll right over me
And you pull me in

And you pull me in...

You just roll over me
And you pull me in


14.What You Thought You Need (Live From Yokohama) (Japan Bonus Track)


I'll can't give you everything you want
But i could give you what you thought you needed.
A map to keep beneath your sit,
your breath to me in time i'll get you there.
So fold it up so we don't find our way back soon ,
nobody knows we are here.

We could park the van and walk to town ,
find the cheapest bottle of wine that we could find..
and talk about the rule behind our get in love.. is not a waste
of time.
The water moor will take us home
in the moment we will sing as the forest sleeps.

So, for the sake of arriving with you ,
well its all .. for the sake of arriving with you

I'll make the table into a bed,
the candle is burning down its time to rest.
Can't take back things already gone,
I'll could give you promises for keeps.

Now it only take them back if they become your only you give'em
to me .

So, for the sake of arriving with you ..
well , its all for the sake of arriving with you.

we could make this into anything ,
we could make this world more to speak
This could make our scent to anything,
we could make this grow and become what we'll be

Hmmmmmm .. It's just like it feels.
It's just like it feels.
