JACK JOHNSON LYRICS - Fall Line

"Fall Line"



And by the way

You know that hope will make you strange

Make you blink, make you blank

Make you sink

It will make you afraid of change

And often blame the box with the view of the world

And the walls that fill the frame

I turn it up

But then I turn it off

Because I can't stand

When they start to talk about

The hurting and killing

Whose shoes are we filling

The damage and ruin

Man, the things that we're doing

Gotta

We gotta stop

We gotta turn it all off

We gotta rewind

Start it up again

Because we fell across the fall line

Ain't there nothing sacred anymore

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Somebody saw him jump

Yeah, but nobody saw him slip

I guess he lost a lot a hope

And then he lost a grip

And now he's lying in the freeway

In the middle of this mess

Guess we lost another one, just like the other one

Optimistic, hypocrite that didn't have the nerve to quit

The things that kept him wanted more

'Til he finally reached the core

He feel across the fall line

Ain't there nothing sacred anymore

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
