Lyrics Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson

Sunsets for Somebody Else

I know I've seen your face somewhere

Selling something, some big idea

I know I've seen that vacant stare

Selling sunsets for somebody else

You find yourself asking yourself

What is any of it worth?

You find yourself looking up at night

From the bottom of the earth

No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore

And no, did your sheeps start jumping

They grow out their teeth

Did they need a little something more, than this?

The taste of trouble on your lips

'Cause now they're bitin' at your thoughts

You tell yourself just to turn away

But you know you've already lost

The smell of rain when it's on a wind

Can never be paid in full

You try in vain to account for this mess

And everything that you stole

No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore

And no, did your sheeps start jumping

They grow out their teeth

Did they need a little something more, than this?

'Cause now they're bitin' at your feet

They got you running from this place

And now they're breathing down your neck

Your eyes look lonely in your face

I see you looking just out of frame

What is it pulling you there?

'Cause things can never stay the same

So what is keeping you here?

No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore

And no, did your sheeps start jumping

They grow out their teeth

And need a little something now

Every time you think, well they'd be biting at your thoughts

And every time you blink, well you'll be so damn bought

But you are more, than this

I know I've seen your face somewhere
