Lyrics From http://jackjohnsonmusic.com/music/detail/inbetweendreams/

"Staple it Together"

It's really too bad 

He became a prisoner of his own past 

He stabbed the moment in the back with the round thumbtack 

That held up the list of things he got to do 

It's really no good 

He's moving on before he understood 

He shot the future in the foot with every step he took 

From the places that he's been because he forgot to look




He better staple it together and call it bad weather




Well I guess you could say 

That he don't even know where to begin 

Because he looked both ways but he was so afraid 

Digging deep into the ditch every chance he missed 

And the mess he made 

Because hate is such a strong word 

And every brick he laid, a mistake they say 

That his walls are getting taller, and his world is getting smaller




Better staple it together and call it bad weather




It's really too bad 

He became a prisoner of his own past 

He stabbed the moment in the back with the round thumbtack 

That held up the list of things he got to do 

It's really no good 

He's moving on before he understood 

He shot the future in the foot with every step he took 

From the places that he's been because he forgot to look




Better staple it together and call it bad weather




If the weather gets better we should get together 

Spend a little time or we could do whatever 

And if we get together we'd be twice as clever 

So staple it together and call it bad weather
