Breakdown Lyrics

Jack Johnson

i hope this old train breaks down

then i can take a walk around and

see what there is to see

time is just a melody



but the people in the streets

walk as fast as their feet can take em

i just rode through town

and though my window's got a view

well the frame im lookin' through

seems to have no concern for now so for now



i need this

old train to breakdown

oh please just

let me please breakdown



well this engine screams out loud

centipede gonna crawl westbound and

so i don't even make a sound cause

its gonna sting me when leave this town



and all the people in the streets

they'd never get to meet

if these tracks don't bend somehow

and i got no time

that i got to get 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

old train to breakdown

let me please break down

i wanna break on down but i can't stop now

let me break on down



but you can't stop nothin'

if you got no control

of the thoughts in your mind

that you kept and you know

you dont know nothin

but you dont need to know

the wisdoms in the trees

not the glass windows

you can't stop wishin if you dont let go

the things that you find and you lose and you know

you keep on rollin'

put the moment on hold

the frame's too bright

so put the blinds down low



i need this

old train to breakdown

oh please just

let me please breakdown



wanna break on down

but i can't stop now
