Jack Johnson - Never Know lyrics

I hear this old story before

Where the people keep appealing for the metaphors

Don't leave much up to the imagination,

So I, wanna give this imagery back

But I know it just ain't so easy like that

So, I turn the page and read the story again

And again and again

It sure seems the same, with a diff. name

We're breaking and rebuilding

And we're growing

Always guessing

Never knowing

Shocking but we're nothing

We're just moments

We're Clever but we're clueless

We're just human

Amusing but confusing

Were trying but where is this all leading

Never Know

It all happened so much faster

Than you could say disaster

Wanna take a time lapse

And look at it backwards

From the last one

And maybe thats just the answer

That we're after

But after all

We're just a bubble in a boiling pot

Just one breath in a chain of thought

The moments just combusting

Feel certain but we'll never never know

Just seems the same

Give it a diff. name

We're beggin and we're needing

And we're trying and we're breathing

Never knowing

Shocking but we're nothing

We're just moments

We're Clever but we're clueless

We're just human

Amusing but confusing

Helping, we're builign

And we're growing

Never Know

Knock knock on the door to door

Tell ya that the metaphor is better than yours

And you can either sink or swim

Things are looking pretty grim

If you dont believe in what this one feeding

Its got no feeling

So I read it again

And again and again

Just seems the same

Too many different names

Our hearts are strong our hands are weak

We'll always be competing never knowing

Never knowing

Shocking but we're nothing

We're just moments

We're Clever but we're clueless

We're just human

Amusing but confusing

But the truth is

All we got is questions

We'll Never Know

Never Know

Never Know
