Jack Johnson – Supposed To Be Lyrics 17 years ago
is this how life's supposed to be...w/ all the hurting and killing the shoes that were fillin' the damage and ruin man the things that were doin

being in the present is supposedly the only way to go...dealing with reality...however desperate it is

Jack Johnson – Fortunate Fool Lyrics 17 years ago
the girl's got it made...she might not realize it, but she does...

"ignorance is bliss" type deal...where shes got it made to the point she doesn't question it

happy go lucky, carefree son of a biotch belle...shallow, maybe, but when everything is going right, is truth really that necessary?

Jack Johnson – Losing Keys Lyrics 17 years ago
I see MadeforThis's point on the first verse

Him "losing keys" is apparently a metaphor on an issue he has...when you lose keys, you either cant get into your doors nor can you lock them. When I think of doors, I usually pertain to things I keep locked up inside me, thoughts, feelings, emotions. When I "lose my keys" which I have, I see it as somehow losing my mind and becoming detached...letting my door of unlocked emotions get the best of me on how hopeless the situations of life seem to be. Hence:

The world has its ways
To quiet us down

Having too much hope can do this. Having an unexpected death when life is at an all time high can do this. Hes depressed pretty much, but I guess his wife is trying to help him:

See you reaching to me gonna save me
You were me, I would much rather take the fall

But when you're that low, you have that feeling that you would much rather die...theres no use in getting back up and going forward, for its much too hard.

Been going
Up when now
For too long
Forget how
To let go
Seems too hard
Too late now
To turn around

Amazing bridge...gives me chills.

Let go...and you're free right? But when so many people count on you and you've "been going up...for too long," true freedom is a hard thing to attain because you "forget how to let go"...and if that keeps going it'll be "too late...to turn around." You've committed yourself to a cause.

Face it, Jack can't just up and quit his music career...we need him too much, especially in today's world for he can give us hope. He knows this and sings his heart, but I guess his not seeing the change he wants and we as a whole need gets him down...hope that wasnt too cheesy.

Bittersweet symphony this song.

Jack Johnson – What You Thought You Need Lyrics 17 years ago
Two lovers on a trip through Europe

"And talk about the road behind
How getting lost is not a waste of time"

When you're w/ the one, getting lost is half the fun. No time is ever wasted cause you realize that's all there really is to do in life...waste time w/ your loved one that is.

"How will we really know?
It's just like it feels
How does it feel?"

How does love feel...true soulful love...it feels how its really supposed to feel...but does anyone really know how that feels? Jack does...hes says it..."it's just like it feels". You dont question true love...you just know.

lovely song
