All at Once - Jack Johnson cover

All at once,
The world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind

Which way will you run
When it's always all around you
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around our sun some say
There's gonna be the new hell some say
It's still too early to tell some say
It really ain't no myth at all

Keep askin' ourselves are we really strong enough
There's so many things that we got too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of

I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off and instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch em' as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all there's this heart all alone

What about when it's gone
And it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

Theres a world we've never seen
Theres still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all could blow away with a breeze
If you're waiting on the wind don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin as we reach for love
At least somethin we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just cant go

What about when it's gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

I hope it's as much relaxing for you to let this song flow as it was for me to listen to your voice curling around the thoughtful lyrics.

Very well done. Thank you.

This is wonderful Jeff. So soothing to just sit back and take in. I didn't think I liked Jack Johnson, but judging from this, I guess I do. By the way, I've been really enjoying the Jay files you sent, thanks.

Thanks John. I was never much of Jack Johnson fan either but a friend insisted that I check out this album a few years ago. It's really good. A little different from his usual stuff. Glad you like those files.
