JACK JOHNSON LYRICS - Enemy

"Enemy"



After we spoke I had a dream that I broke

The teeth from a mouth of a snake

That I choked on the teeth

They were mine all along



I picked up the pieces when I woke up

Put them in a boat made of things that I don't want to see

I blew on the sail

Watched it drift out to sea

The further it drifted the closer it came to me

I can't explain



So I took it apart built a billion boxes

There was only one key



You might think I'm your enemy

But that don't make you mine

And all I have now is empathy

I wish that you'd stop trying

Oh, please stop lying



Stop la la la la la la la

La la la la la...



I put hatred in a box then I locked it

The strongest one I made

I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns

And sat beneath the shade



You might think I'm your enemy

But that don't make you mine

And all I have now is empathy

I wish that you'd stop trying

Oh please stop lying

Please stop la la la la la la

La la la la la...

La la la la la...
