Breakdown


Jack Johnson



I hope this old train breaks down

then I could take a walk around

and, see what there is to see

and time is just a melody

all the people in the street

walk as fast as their feet can take them

I just roam through town

And though my windows got a view

The frame im looking through

seems to have no concern for me now

so for now



I need this here

old train to breakdown

oh please just

let me please breakdown



This engine screams out loud

Sayin the beat gunna crawl westbound

so I dont even make a sound

cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town

All the people in the street

that i'll never get to meet

if these dont bend somehow

and I got no time

that I got to get to

where I dont need to be

So I



I need this here

old train to breakdown

oh please just

let me please breakdown

I need this here

old train to breakdown

oh please just

let me please breakdown

I wanna break on down

but I cant stop now

let me break on down


But you cant stop nothing

if you got no control

of the thoughts in your mind

that you kept in, you know

you dont know nothing

but you dont need to know

the wisdoms in the trees

not the glass windows

You cant stop wishing

If you dont let go

But things that you find

and you lose, and you know

you keep on rolling

put the moment on hold

the frames too bright

so put the blinds down low


I need this here

old train to breakdown

oh please just

let me please breakdown

I need this here

old train to breakdown

oh please just

let me please breakdown

I wanna break on down

but I cant stop now
