Cover art for No Good With Faces lyrics by Jack Johnson

As we all know his dad recently passed. When I listen to this song I imagine a funeral or just a mourning process really he has all these expectations on how to react to the death & how to interact with people but he is so confused and hurt that he is "to tired to try" but then his voice of reason (chorus) comes in giving him hope. He shows the depressed side of himself that there was a life that was lived.. He isn't the only one who loved him so they need to all be there for each other "It's not only you your looking at now" That's just my thought.

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

In my opinion, this means to calm down. down get down on yourself, its your own life. we shouldn't be afraid of who we are. were not just looking at ourselves, but everyone who has influenced us and who we influence.
