Never Know - Jack Johnson

[00:29.150]I heard this old story before
[00:30.730]Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors
[00:33.230]But don't leave much up to the imagination
[00:36.990]So I want to give this imagery back
[00:40.270]But I know it just ain't so easy like that
[00:42.870]So I turn the page and read the story again and again and again
[00:47.980]It sure seems the same with a different name
[00:51.810]We're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing, always guessing
[00:55.880]Never knowing
[00:58.770]We're shocking but we're nothing
[01:00.920]We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
[01:05.200]We're just human, amusing and confusing
[01:10.420]We're trying, but where is this all leading?
[01:14.880]We'll never know
[01:23.960]It all happened so much faster than you can say disaster
[01:27.70]Want to take a time-lapse and look at it backwards
[01:29.300]Find the last word and maybe that's just the answer that we're after
[01:33.179]But after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
[01:36.720]Just one breath in a chain of thought
[01:38.850]We're moments just combusting
[01:40.920]We feel certain but we'll never, never know
[01:44.260]It sure seems the same, give it a different name
[01:48.240]We're begging and we're needing, and we're trying, and we're breathing
[01:53.410]Never knowing
[01:55.100]We're shocking but we're nothing
[01:57.20]We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
[02:01.800]We're just human, amusing and confusing
[02:06.790]We're helping, rebuilding and we're growing
[02:11.179]Never know
[02:21.570]Knock, knock, coming door to door
[02:23.529]To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours
[02:26.170]And you can either sink or swim and things are looking pretty grim
[02:30.510]If you don't believe in what they're spoon-feeding
[02:34.630]It's got no feeling so I read it again and again and again
[02:40.310]It sure seems the same, so many different names
[02:44.860]Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we'll always be competing
[02:49.120]Never knowing
[02:51.840]We're shocking but we're nothing
[02:54.0]We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
[02:58.500]We're just human, amusing, confusing
[03:03.230]But the truth is, all we got are questions
[03:07.900]We'll never know
